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

    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
