Jump Through The Hoops
(专辑: Question The Answers - 1994)
Wake up and shake myself out of bed again. Shaking the
day down in my head again. It's up and out, rise and shine, on the
double. No time to slack, attack, and tackle the
trouble. Shake myself out of bed again. No time to stop and assess, can't let it grind to a
halt. Can't stop and look at the
mess and then find out it's my fault. I
can't stop for a
single minute. I
know hell, well, I'm living in it. No time to stop at all, I've got to jump through the
hoops. My job, well it's a
nine to five nightmare. I'm serving whiskey, stale wit and beer. Come on in, how've you been? Have I
met you? What'll it be now, what can I
get you? My job, well it's a
nightmare. And every day from nine to five I'm there. No time to stop and assess, can't let it grind to a
halt. Can't stop and look at the
mess and then find out it's my fault. I
can't stop for a
single minute. I
know hell, well, I'm living in it. No time to stop at all, I've got to jump through the
hoops. Roll over, sit up and beg. Well, I'd much rather lie down and play dead. Here comes another hoop. Holidays have got to be the
worst. I've seen so many I've got it well rehearsed. Joy to the
world, hark the
hey, let me hear it. Deck the
halls, trim the
tree, that's the
spirit. Holidays are not for me, chop down the
tree. They've got to be the
worst. I'm old and set in my ways, no stopping now, it's a
shame. But in my much younger days I'd stop and I'd take the
blame. I'm alright if I
don't know and can't see. I'll live in hell til the
day that they plant me. No time to stop at all, I've got to jump through the
hoops. Roll over, sit up and beg. Well I'd much rather...lie down and play dead. All over, so long my friend. So long, all over, the
end.
