factory

    by bruce sprinsteen 

 
 
 
 

one song appears on every tape my brother and i have recorded. it's this one. the reasons why are lost  in the mists of time. it certainly is a challenge thinking up new ways to record it. this arrangement was  dreamt up whilst i was on holiday at center parcs. one thing is certain, every springsteen fan will hate it. i quite like it and hope you do, too.

verse 1
early in the morning factory whistle blows
man rises from bed and puts on his clothes
man takes his lunch box out in the morning light
it's the work, the working, just the working life
it's the work, the working, just the working life

verse 2
through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain
see my daddy walking through those factory gates in the rain
factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life
it's the work, the working, just the working life
it's the work, the working, just the working life

verse 3
end of the day factory whistle cries
men walk through these gates with death in their eyes
and you'd better believe that someone's gonna get hurt tonight
it's the work, the working, just the working life
it's the work, the working, just the working life
