I need a job that's part time
'Cos I'm having such a hard time
I need a job that's part time

So now I'm like,
Look hell, I need a job
The recruitment girl she ask me what I'm thinking of,
I said I don't know but it's got to be part time,
For get start at nine and finish at half five

Here's the deal I took a year out of uni,
Especially so I could work on my music,
But at the same time I need some money,
Studio time ain't cheap

So now I'm like,
Look hell I need a job
Full time pay cos this is all they got
I could probably be a dentist or a psychologist
but music is my dream I got to follow it

So Mr record boss wont you give me a shot
So I can show you all this talent that I got
So by now I just need some money
So I got to get a part time job

I got to get a part time job
But I really want to do this music
But look at all these bills I got
I need dow just to see me through this

I got to get a part time job
But I really want to do this music
But look at all these bills I got
I need dow just to see me through this

I need a job that's part time

So now I'm like
Look hell, I need a job
I'm real bored I'm really losing my patience
I hate sending out applications
I should get a job with these qualifications

Here's the deal eleven GCSEs
Seven of them are A to C's
Three A levels, two A's and a B
So won't somebody give a job to me?

I'm like
Look hell I need a job
Because I'm living close to poor
And I don't really wanna be broke no more
I wonder if the record label got my call

Well I was like
Mr record label boss wont you give me a shot
So I can show you all this talent that I got
So by now I just need some money,
So I got to get a part time job

I got to get a part time job
But I really want to do this music
But look at all these bills I got
I need dow just to see me through this

I got to get a part time job
I really want to do this music
And adio, I hate having to wear my shirt and tie

See I can't be the only one
Who walks into the interview and thinks like "I don't wanna be here"
Especially in my shirt and tie
And I don't know no Know why I'm standing round like a pillock

Excuse me mate
Come to my office and meet the rest of your training team
I'm like bloody hell walked in there with a smile on my face
Had to change up my little screw face
Bear fake? goin on
Bear silly handshakes
Yemen here's adio, I'm karyn nice to meet ya,
Yemen here's adio, I'm peter nice to meet ya,
They just say the day was as fake as father christmas

Now I'm walking past everyone in the workplace
Trying not to make eye contact with no one
First days in the work place are long,
It inspired me to write this song,
Cos I hate going to work,
I aint gonna lie,
I aint got a choice or I can't get by,
Rules in the office they don't need to imply
I hate having to wear my shirt and tie

I hate going to work,
I aint gonna lie,
I ain't got a choice or I can't get by
Rules in the office they don't need to imply
I hate having to wear my shirt and tie

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
