  1. Working To Pay The Man

From the recordings Alpha and Good-Bye City Lights EP

In cart Not available Out of stock

This song was in Jeff's head about working to achieve the thing you like in life - He was totally out of character when it came to explaining (He hummed it) how it went to the band. Jeff became this possessed bossy little kid with some power. He wishes he could have recorded on video the look of the disbelief if the boys. Definitely one of the many priceless moments in the recording of ALPHA!

Lyrics

I live my life in my own way
it seems its changing everyday
it doesn't matter if I change my style
I'm old fashion anyway

Hey! I have a good time for a livin
I try to keep down on my sinnin
take a good look at me
I'm right where I belong

workin workin just to pay the man
to do the things the things I like to do oh yeah
All day All night
I gotta have it my way

I wanna take a holiday
and when I wake up in the early morning
thats when i know I'm gonna do it again
I live my life like there is no chance for tomorrow
thats why I'm gonna travel sea to shinning sea

workin workin just to pay the man
to do the things the things I like to do oh yeah
all day all night
I'm gonna do it my way

guitar solo

I live my life in my own way
it seems its changing everyday
it doesn't matter if I change my style
I'm old fashion anyway

Workin workin just to pay the man
to do the things the things I like to do oh yeah
All day All night I gotta have it my way
