I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
I will work, I will work, I will work
I said hey man, get off my back
The devil never made me work like that
I get no sleep, I’m going to get the sack
And my girlfriend thinks that I am mad
I say oh, you’re going to get me in so
Much trouble with my fellow man
In the sickly glow of the lantern light, God sits nearby
In a hurried voice of deep rich tones he dictates long into the night
I dare not turn to face him less I catch him with my naked eye
He does not keep normal office hours, operates on his own time
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
I will work, I will work, I will work
I said hey man, get off my back
The devil never made me work like that
I get no sleep, I’m going to get the sack
And my girlfriend thinks that I am mad
I say oh, you’re going to get me in so
Much trouble with my fellow man
The captain came a-callin’ with items on his list
A single tooth from every man he’d ever killed jangled at his wrist
He called his accountant to calculate the score
You all know him as the taxman and you know he always wants more
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
I will work, I will work, I will work
Weather; rain or shine, whether day or night
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
Whether dead or alive, take my youth have my prime
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
Whether flat on the floor or ready for a climb
I will work, I will work, I will work like a banshee
Whether sick all the time with a troubled mind
I will work, I will work, I will work
I say oh, you’re going to get me in so
Much trouble with my fellow man
Silverlode is a folksome indie rock band from Leeds.
A folk band in the broadest sense of
the word; dogs of pop; self-taught musical ruffians who play to their own traditions. Reinventors of self and prone to playing their songs in a myriad of ways, join Silverlode on their mythological journey through history, future, fantasy and good times via their ever-evolving music.
A sprawling, 25-song set from Pete Yorn complete with covers of Springsteen and The Smiths capture him at his unguarded best. Bandcamp New & Notable May 16, 2020
