LYRICS :

I've been working here a long time
I've been working till my fingers are red and sore
And the keyboard doesn't have any letters any more
The staff in the canteen know my name
I've been working here a long time

I've been working here a long time
I've been working till my crossed legs have broken all the bones
And I know by the tone who's calling on the phone
The lady at reception knows my name
I've been working here a long time

I've been working here a long time
I've been working till my heart has imploded with fear
Have I done everything that I needed to do
Am I more than this keyboard and these post - it - notes
Is time running out as the years get shorter
Will I be just a shirt and tie till I'm dead?
And nothing to show but some overdue rent

I've been working here a long time.
