about

This song was inspired by Andrey Kurkov's book 'A milkman in the night'. Here's the video from the night: vimeo.com/28220655

lyrics

Up for work

Up for work, cold snow­­­
Like the way it stings
My face my fingers, my toes

Up for work
Say goodbye
Don’t look my wife
In the eye

Up for work
Tired from the night before
Not quite, ready for the day ahead

What will tomorrow bring…

In the cold, warm coat
Wait to meet him
Like the way his smile meets mine

In the cold, out the house
As the lies build, up
I cant, get out

In the cold,
night air,
stranger meets me,
Knows my name and..

What will tomorrow bring… x2

And a ladder is leant up
Another climb to the next rung
And a stranger is giving me a foot up
And a friend is giving me a leg

A bit of luck
A bit of luck
A bit of luck

What will tomorrow bring… x2
Were all the same as the game turns
Were all the same as the game turns
And changes were stuck to the edges
Getting churned up
What will tomorrow bring…
