Peter Jeffries cover, from 'What Would the Community Think?' (1996). I may be
slightly off with the way the first chord (Riff 1) is played, but otherwise this seems accurate.

Thinks of money all the time
Doing it to annoy her
She's on his conscience day and night
So he acts...

They all come and peep through a hole in the wall
Keep the bastards guessing
Riff 1, 2
He likes to take the long way home
It's another fine decision
From six to seven he'll be all alone
So he turns on televison
Doesn't even notices as is the hours roll by
Riff 3
It's lost inside the screen
Watches the film about the evening sky
It was someone else's dream
Riff 1, 2
All come peep through the wall
Keep the bastards guessing
All come and peep through a hole in the wall
Just to watch his heart undressing
Riff 3
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall
'Cause you look so impressive
