Working On It - Lyrics by Chris Rea


Lyrics
Ohhow I'd love itgirljust you and me
Take the day and fly.
But ohthis job it's got the best of me
Tell you whytell you why:
Somebody above is in a desperate state
Some kind of urgencythe kind that won't wait.I say: Tomorrow. He say: today.
And the man in my headwellhe tell me: No way. - Keep working.I got eight little fingers and only two thumbs
Will you leave me in peace while I get the job done?
Can't you see i'm working?
Ohoh
I'm working on itohoh
I'm working on it.
Wellthey're coming from above me and they're coming from below.
Yeahthey're in there right behind meeverywhere that I go.
And my buddyhe's screaming down the telephone line
He said: Gimmegimmegimme! I say: I ain't got no time.
Ohoh can't you see I'm working on it?O
Hoh
I'm working on ityeahyeahohtell them.
How I'd love itgirljust you and me...
Well they're coming from above me and they're coming from below. ...
