Welcome to the working week!
Here are some more songs about struggling through 'til payday... starting with the obvious one, clocking in at less than 90 seconds... Album #1, Side #1, Track #1...
And then, of course, there's the one that I hinted at on Saturday... but which would have been just two damned obvious...
And speaking of obvious...
What else can I offer you?
Well, there's no need to swear. We're not going bowling.
Well, I get up at seven, yeah
And I'll go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time
Early in the morning, factory whistle blows
Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes
Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light
It's the work, the working, just the working life
But I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day
Get tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
But I'll go back workin', come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Now we're talking, Merle! Let's focus on the pay packet...
Or, at the very least, clocking off time.
Hello, darlin' - I'm home again
Covered in shit and aches and pains
Too knackered to think, so give me time to come round
Just gimme the living room beat to the TV sound
On the bright side though, Paul, it's always five o'clock somewhere...
A fine set of songs from a bunch of folks most of whom have never done 9 to 5 job in their life.

That's definitely an appropriate tune. Commuting songs... hmmm?
DeleteI figure most of these people became musicians exactly to avoid having to get a proper job.
