lyrics

I should do nothin’ this mornin’
But gettin’ less sickly in bed
I’m at the office instead
Doin’ nothin’ all mornin’ but nothin’ all mornin’

I should do nothin’ this mornin’
But sleepin’ my sleepy head
What do I do instead
Do nothin’ all mornin’ but nothin’ all mornin’

I’m sure you got your reasons
But I still don’t understand
How you'll make your billions
With a tired, tired man

Time passes by
My boss sees nothin’ but red
She should cool it instead
And do nothin’ all mornin’ but nothin’ all mornin’

Feedin’ our families
And workin’ until we’re dead
Could we lay back instead
And do nothin’ all mornin’ but nothin’ all mornin’

I’m sure you got your reasons
But I still don’t understand
How you'll make your billions
With a tired hired hand

Postal Recording (Indianapolis) forges the songs to full realization. Joining the fun live in Chicago are guitarist/vocalist Guy Corl, drummist Barry Bennett, and flautist Rich Frye. ... more

by The Thin Cherries

Am biased in that one of the co-frontmen Steve is a former bandmate and songwriting partner. And a Sox fan. Hard to deny the tunefulness and tasteful reverence across this overlooked 2017 entry. Brother Derek
