Leisure Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Leisure
They taught me how to work
But they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ohAs you see, science once again robs us of our jobs
They've put a microchip in my place
I hide behind a screen of aggression nowadays
It's just a way of saving some faceSo now I'm permanently drunk
Like the rest of the race with leisure
If you think I'm clowning
I assure you that I'm drowning here in leisureThey taught me how to work

But they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ohI spend all day and all my allowance on TV games
Amusement heaven at the flick of a switch
Instead of a lathe, I busy my fingers nowadays
By scoring goals with the gentlest twitchI've forgotten how to use my legs
To invade the pitch of leisure
If you think I'm clowning
I assure you that I'm drowning here in leisureThey taught me how to work
But they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohThey had retired before I left school
(Just saw no point in the standing in line)
So I spend lots of time lounging at home
(Why not come in 'cause the carpet is fine)What a waste of breath it is
Searching for the jobs that don't existSo now I'm permanently drunk
Like the rest of the race with leisure
If you think I'm clowning
I assure you that I'm drowning here in leisureThey taught me how to work
But they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh
La, la, la, la, leisure, la, la, la, la, leisureLazybones, looking through The Sun
How'd you ever find your day's work?
(Work)
Oh, leisure
(Ooh leisure, leisure)Lazybones, looking through The Sun
How'd you ever find your day's work?
(Work)
Oh, leisure

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

XTC were an influential rock band (starting out as a post-punk outfit but eventually developing into a sound that was a mix of new wave and alternative/college rock) which formed Swindon, England in 1972. For most of their career, the band consisted of Andy Partridge (vocals, guitar), Colin Moulding (vocals, bass) and Dave Gregory (guitar, keyboards). Gregory replaced founding keyboardist Barry Andrews in 1979 and left himself in 1999.
