No one ever sings about data integrity controllers do they?

This is good though

I was thinking of that album, which also has Herald, Beggar and Masseuse (none of which are that common in songs), together with more common ones like Prostitute and Soldier.

Unsurprisingly there are few of these in Fall songs:

Receptionist (Slang King)
Sports Reporter (Kicker Conspiracy)
Rector (Spectre vs Rector)
Rabbit killer (Jawbone and Air Rifle)
Solicitor (Solicitor in Studio)
Furniture salesman (Eat Y’self Fitter)
German athletic star (Athlete Cured)
Caterer (Das Katerer)
Shepherd (Theme From Sparta FC)
Stock Replacer (Senior Twilight Stock Replacer)
Bingo Caller (Bingo Master’s Breakout)
Scriptwriter, Soap Opera Writer (The Man Whose Head Expanded)
Estate Agent (Hit the North)

And probably hundreds more…

Probably the only song about being a Burgermeister, in the middle ages, dealing with a plague

Specific

Picking a Decemberists song feels like cheating, peopled as they are with aforementioned architects, bagmen, engine drivers and cavalry captains but if you take Mary Poppins out of the equation sweeps seem to be largely unheralded in pop

Of course!

I watched The Third Man for the first time last night, what an orgy of zither
