Dm (riff 1)

C                   Am                    Dm
Daylight dawns, you wake up and yawn, Mr. Clean.
  C                       Am                        Dm
A piece of toast from the one you love most and you leave.
    Am                     G
You catch your bus, in the 8'o'clock rush,
    Am                       G
And catch your train, in the morning rain.
    C          C
Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.

Dm (riff 1)

C              Am                   Dm
If you see me, in the street, look away.
    C                              Am                 Dm
Cos I don't ever want to catch you looking at me, Mr. Clean.
    Am          G
Cos I hate you, and your wife,
    Am                       G
And if I get the chance I'll fuck up your life.
    C          C
Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.
        Dm (riff 1)
Is that seen?

  Em7                   Dm7
Surround  yourself with dreams,
   C                      G          Am   D
Of pretty young girls and anyone you want but,
Em7                 Dm7    C         G     Am    D
Please don't forget me, or any of my kind,
         Em7             Dm7
Cos I'll make you think again,
       C                      G
When I stick your face in the grind.

  C              Bm       C                               Bm

Getting pissed, at the annual office do,

Smart new suit, and you went to Cambridge too,

You miss page 3, but the Times is right for you,
                         Bm
And mum and dad are very proud of you.
C          Bm
Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.

Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean.

	"Getting pissed at the annual office do Smart blue suit and you went to Cambridge too You miss page 3, but the Times is right for you And mum and dad are very proud of you" Pure genius, Weller and the boys at their best.

No Picture Ganondorf Average	#2 by Ganondorf Dragmire at Aug 26, 1979 at 1:53 PM EST
	I'd hazard a guess that it's about The Jam's leftist views and the disgust at the Conservative middle classes. 1

No Picture ♥Safety P Wanna Be	#3 by ♥Safety Pin=Safety First♥ at Sep 21, 1986 at 11:18 PM EST
	This song shows Weller's passion for his belief a brilliant song I like the bit when he's telling him to look away so much anger Weller is a genius

No Picture Reece Wanna Be	#4 by Reece Brown at Apr 16, 1998 at 9:35 PM EST
	"Read" Page 3???

No Picture Jason Wanna Be	#5 by Jason Stender at Sep 1, 1999 at 9:13 AM EST
	What a great song, probably one of their best. Obviously Weller criticizing the blue collar working man for obeying the systemlike he's told to. I love the opening.

No Picture brandon Wanna Be	#6 by brandon christ at May 20, 2004 at 12:54 AM EST
	I think this is about "yuppies" which were working class boys who made it big in the city and those who forget thier roots-- when he says "please dont forget me or any of my kind" and "you miss page three-but the times is right for you" his talking about when they used to read page three of "The Sun" which is working class paper and now reads "The times" which is like middle class broadsheet
