The Worker

by John Watts

on Fischer-Z (2011)

The hated journey on the train
Always been the same
Looking out windows
Second class and second best
What a waste of time

Sleep for five stops in a row
Prepare yourself to go
Waterloo station
Bought a '69 Capri, failed the M.O.T.
What a waste of time

The worker, the worker
The worker, the worker

Always kiss the wife goodbye
Often wonder why
At seven in the morning
Think it's time for a change
Wouldn't that be strange?
What a waste of time

The worker, the worker
The worker, the worker

Was it the song you were looking for? Yes 🍾

I heard 2 ladies having a conversation in a coffee shop. I wasn't listening but my ears pricked up and that was because I heard the words " bought a 69 Capri failed the mot" all of a sudden I was transported bk to when I was 17. I started humming the tune. Before we knew it we were singing the words to each other, very discreetly of course. We messed a a few words up after all this time but it was fun behaving like teenagers again though, just for a few seconds. Lol Her friend sat there looking totally blank lol so I decided to get the lyrics proper so that when we meet next week. She has probably done the same.. Lol
I can't thank you enough for providing this service its made my day finding the lyrics.
Kind regards
