Frank Turner - The Work lyrics
[Frank Turner - The Work lyrics]
I’m sorry about the argument at the weekend
I should have listened to what you
Said in the first place
And then I should have been your friend
But, I finally tidied up the
Garage like you asked me
I put some laundry on –
Both our clothes this time and not just mine
Because we’ve both been doing our best
Skirting round the edges of perfect
Darling I know this:
It’s the work that makes it worth it
I’ve been brushing up on your
Family tree for the party
I’ll get your cousins
Your half cousins and your step cousins
The right way around this time
And I promise to remember to bring
You tea in the morning
Heed your warnings about when I'm
About to cross the line
Because we’ve both been doing our best
Skirting round the edges of perfect
Darling I know this:
It’s the work that makes it worth it
It’s the work that makes it worth it
Because I did my fair
Share of the rock’n’roll
Three minutes and Fifteen seconds
Version of love
But me I always needed the B sides
And not just the best of
I saw fireworks aplenty when I met you
But now we've worked to build
This into a fire
I don’t want to burn out any more
I want to visit the coast in Kent with you
On a weekday afternoon when
We’re both retired
Because we’ve both been doing our best
Skirting round the edges of perfect
Darling I know this:
It’s the work that makes it worth it
It’s the work that makes it worth it
It’s the work that makes it worth it
It’s the work that makes it worth it
It’s the work that makes it worth it
The work won't make it perfect
But the work will make it worth it
I should have listened to what you
Said in the first place
And then I should have been your friend
But, I finally tidied up the
Garage like you asked me
I put some laundry on –
Both our clothes this time and not just mine
Because we’ve both been doing our best
Skirting round the edges of perfect
Darling I know this:
It’s the work that makes it worth it
I’ve been brushing up on your
Family tree for the party
I’ll get your cousins
Your half cousins and your step cousins
The right way around this time
And I promise to remember to bring
You tea in the morning
Heed your warnings about when I'm
About to cross the line
Because we’ve both been doing our best
Skirting round the edges of perfect
Darling I know this:
It’s the work that makes it worth it
It’s the work that makes it worth it
Because I did my fair
Share of the rock’n’roll
Three minutes and Fifteen seconds
Version of love
But me I always needed the B sides
And not just the best of
I saw fireworks aplenty when I met you
But now we've worked to build
This into a fire
I don’t want to burn out any more
I want to visit the coast in Kent with you
On a weekday afternoon when
We’re both retired
Because we’ve both been doing our best
Skirting round the edges of perfect
Darling I know this:
It’s the work that makes it worth it
It’s the work that makes it worth it
It’s the work that makes it worth it
It’s the work that makes it worth it
It’s the work that makes it worth it
The work won't make it perfect
But the work will make it worth it
