“Work” is the penultimate track off of Morning Runner’s debut, and only album, Wilderness Is Paradise Now.
According to lead singer, Matthew Greener, the song was inspired by Greener’s father, who was made redundant after returning from an accident.
The song also appears on Morning Runner’s 2005 E...
[Verse 1]
Dear Sir
We know what you're about
You cannot say, we didn't see it
'Cause we can see that you're slacking
It's another habit that you're cracking
[Pre-Chorus]
What's the movement if you don't move?
What have you got left to prove?
I'm not sure how to stick to the floor
I smashed on to your ceiling
Let me sleep awhile 'cause I cannot stand
Break my fingers, hold my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
What's the movement if you don't move?
What have you got left to prove?
[Chorus]
And I'll write and I'll write
But nothing here reminds me of you
You left a postlet on your door
"I don't wanna see you no more"
Oh but sir I know you're lying
And this time I'll disappear, into my career
'Cause nothing in here reminds me of you
[Verse 2]
Dear Sir
Quietly slip away
The last leaf fell, we all saw it
We can see, that you're flagging
It's not just your heels, that you're dragging
[Pre-Chorus]
What's the movement if you don't move?
What have you got left to prove?
What's the movement if you don't move?
What have you got left to prove?
[Chorus]
And I'll write and I'll write
But nothing here reminds me of you
You left a postlet on your door
"I don't wanna see you no more"
Oh but sir I know you're lying
And this time I'll disappear, into my career
'Cause nothing in here reminds me of you
