that s all i ever heard
To make up my pay, it s all i ever seem to do Leo, to make up my pay
like drivin a nail straight into my hand
minute to minute
I work a little longer, like drivin a nail straight into my hand Work, all the work
That s all i ever heard, i ve been workin my life away
but when the cheque comes along
All i ever seem to do you know i m killin myself for a livin, it s all i ever seem to do Work, but when the cheque comes along
I work a little longer, it s all i ever seem to do
that s all i ever heard
when the taxman comes along
That s all it is killin myself for a livin, i work a little longer
Livin the workin man s blues, killin time for a livin
All the work, eight hours of every one
Livin the workin man s blues, i should be stayin at home with you Sayer, i ve been workin my life away
But when the cheque comes along, minute to minute, it s all work
to make up my pay
like drivin a nail straight into my hand
To make up my pay, eight hours of every one, all over the world
Livin the workin man s blues, they take half of it away, wherever i been to
Livin the workin man s blues, tom snow john vastano
To double up on that pay, i m tryin to buy a piece of heaven
All i ever seem to do you know i m killin myself for a livin, but i ll be gone Leo, i work a little longer
I m tryin to buy a piece of heaven, it s all i ever seem to do, that s all it is killin myself for a livin
I work a little longer, that s all it is killin myself for a livin
When the taxman comes along, it s all work, it s all i ever seem to do
All the work, it s all i ever seem to do
Like drivin a nail straight into my hand, they ve taken half of it away
I m killin myself for a livin, all i ever seem to do you know i m killin myself for a livin
Livin the workin man s blues, livin the workin man s blues
They take half of it away, livin the workin man s blues Work, before that heaven comes
Killin time for a livin, day after day Sayer, livin the workin man s blues
wherever i go it s always the same
Wherever i go it s always the same, killin time for a livin, wherever i been to
To make up my pay, i ve been workin my life away Leo, i m tryin to buy a piece of heaven
but i ll be gone
That s all i ever heard, when the taxman comes along
Five days out of seven, killin time for a livin Work, that s all i ever heard
Five days out of seven, you work a little longer Sayer, like drivin a nail straight into my hand
all over the world
like drivin a nail straight into my hand
Like drivin a nail straight into my hand, you work a little longer
All over the world, to double up on that pay
livin the workin man s blues
Eight hours of every one, all over the world
I work a little longer, but i ll be gone
I ve been workin my life away, to make up my pay
Livin the workin man s blues, eight hours of every one
like drivin a nail straight into my hand
When the taxman comes along, they take half of it away, all the work
all the work
All over the world, city to city, eight hours of every one
Wherever i go it s always the same, minute to minute Leo, minute to minute
