Lyrics: The hated journey on the train, Always been the same, Looking out windows, Second class and second best, What a waste of time, Sleep for five stops in a row, Prepare yourself to go, Waterloo station, Bought a '69 Capri, failed the M.O.T., What a waste of time, The Worker, the worker, The worker, the worker. Always kiss the wife goodbye, Often wonder why, At seven in the morning ? Think it's time for a change, Wouldn't that be strange, What a waste of time. The worker, the worker, The worker, the worker.

[@cosmicdrifter287]

this is a slightly different and i think better mix from the album version.still excellent song of course.

[@cas3003]

I have the album from 1980 and it is the same version

[@cosmicdrifter287]

maybe i have another pressing.i should play the album and single version back to back again to compare.but i"m certain when i listen to my album copy.

[@soulwarfare]

If it sounds different maybe it because top of the pops made you re record the tracks for broadcast

[@cosmicdrifter287]

@@soulwarfare Hey Soul Warfare,Well that was certainly a BBC policy for a long time.I Guess Toppop which was a Dutch program didn't got the same restrictions,so IT must be the regular album version.

Yes! I thought there was another mix.I have been looking for years for this song on here and can't understand why it didn't "pop up" during my searches before now.

Not at all, he's not only alive but he's still touring. And doing an amazing job at that, even though I was born many years after this song was written, I really enjoyed seeing it performed live by Fischer-Z in Utrecht last fall. And John Watts sounded as good as ever, on his old songs as well as on his new work.
