Wild Sex (In the Working Class) Lyrics
I work so hard trying to make a few buck
I pass the hours in a dream
The sweat keeps rolling off the tip of my nose
There's only one thing keeps me on my feet
BRIDGE
I may be greasing the wheels in a noisy factory
I may be hunched over metal machines
Watching the gears as they move
just reminds me
of bodies in motion
The sweat and the sound
CHORUS
Wild sex in the working class
After five it's a gas
Wild sex in the working class
Counting minutes gonna get home fast
Thinking of your warm skin
While I touch cold steel
The days go by to the pounding beat
My back is aching so bad
But I'm grinning inside
Thinking of you keeps me on my feet

I work so hard I'm thinking of you
I work so hard but I'm thinking of you
I work so hard

I may be greasing the wheels in a noisy factory
I may be hunched over metal machines
Watching the gears as they move
just reminds me
of bodies in motion
The sweat and the sound
Wild sex in the working class
After five it's a gas
Wild sex in the working class
Counting minutes gonna get home fast
While I touch cold steel
The days go by to the pounding beat
My back is aching so bad
But I'm grinning inside
Thinking of you keeps me on my feet
I work so hard I'm thinking of you
I work so hard but I'm thinking of you
I work so hard

why is it a GAS after five?
If something is really fun, you might say it's "a gas". It's a colloquialism that always confused me. So after five, he gets to have a lot of fun. That's basically it.

"Gas": slang meaning "something exciting or excellent" first attested 1953, from earlier hepster slang gasser in the same sense (1944). Gas also meant "fun, a joke" in Anglo-Irish and was used so by Joyce (1914).

You see, the song is about the average working Joe. Te guy who gets up in the moring, works all day at a desk, and leaves work at five o'clock. After that, he goes home and bangs his wife/girlfriend/mistress, so after five it IS a gas, a really good time, that is. It's a figure of speech, so to say.
i listned to this song a few to many times during my sophomore year of highschool
Some people live such average lives that wild sex is the most exciting thing they have to look foreward to. It breaks up the monotany of their boring, meaningless lives.
