Who’s that over there
Looks like he don’t care
Almost lost his mind
Too much working overtime
Gotta get out every night
City gates are open wide
Gotta get away from here
Take that car and push that gear
He don’t need no one
He’s the rising sun
He won’t shed no tears
Got no time to break down here
Hey
He’s going nowhere fast
Just a piece of dirty trash
All alone, by his self
He don’t need nobody else
Walking down the street
So much going on
People everywhere
Look at him but they don’t care
See that world out there
Make it go away
You can’t change his mind
Too much working overtime
Hey
Overtime
Hey
Overtime
Hey
Overtime
Hey
Overtime
Hey
Overtime
Overtime
Overtime
Overtime
He crossed that picket line
In trouble all the time
Where did it all go wrong
House music all night long
All those girls out there
Looking for the one
Do they really care
Could they just be having fun
He did all he could
Tried to get it right
Somewhere he went wrong
Too much working overtime
Hey
Overtime
Hey
Overtime
Hey
Overtime
Hey
Overtime
Hey
Overtime
Overtime
Overtime

Notes
Hooky: “I think this should be a single. It’s dead rocky. I play it when I DJ and people go mad.”
Steve: “I love this one because it’s based around my drum riff. It sounds a bit Stoogey, but it’s not meant to be. But most of music is thievery isn’t it? Sometimes I hear a song on the radio and think, This is good, is it one of ours? Then the red mist descends and I think, You robbing bastards!”
Bernard: “I was worried that things were getting a bit flowery and melodic and chordy, so it’s great to have a track like this, with a dumb one finger riff. You should never forget that the best music is simple and you don’t have to be a great musician to make it.”
