Another Working Day
The lyrics started to come first for this one and the idea of a crazy industrial rhythm track naturally followed on. I was thinking of a strained electric guitar solo for the instrumental break but once again Jon Garvey came up trumps on sax. This is turning into a major collaboration!
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2010 with more crazy sax from Jon garvey
Another working day (three chord trick in A)
It’s closing on 5.30 and I’m feeling kinda flirty
Need to get on down and dirty but my keyboard still says qwerty
Got to finish with this write-up just to get my days work tied up
Cup of coffee keeps me wired up as my brain gets slowly fried up
I’ve been sitting here for hours must be losing all my powers
As my boss just sits and glowers dreaming of his golden showers
Take the biscuit take the ticket if you think that you can stick it
Keep it going hell for leather just to keep my act together
Hey hey – just the end of another working day
That clock it’s still a-ticking while my fingernails keep clicking
Feel my mind is slowly glazing hope my work is not erasing
There goes james from IT service and he’s shouting saints preserve us
For his networks overloaded and his server’s just exploded
Hey hey – just the end of another working day
Get me out of this machine
Take me to a place my frazzled brain can soar
It’s a nightmare not a dream
It’s oppressive and obscene
This can’t be all there is there must be more
Here comes Joni up from retail no I never miss a detail
In her short skirt and her pigtails, to get a rise I won’t fail
P’raps I’ll take her out to dinner and I’ll try to slip it in her
Cos I know she’s no beginner so I could be on a winner
Hey hey – just the end of another working day
<Jon Garvey's sax break>
It’s closing on 5.30 and I’m feeling kinda flirty
Need to get on down and dirty but my keyboard still says qwerty
Here comes Joni up from retail in her short skirt and her pigtails
P’raps I’ll take her out to dinner and I’ll try to slip it in her
Hey hey – just the end of another working day
Hey hey – just the end of another working day
