Paying My Way Lyrics


Well, you can't just get what you want
Without a little work a day
And you can't just stick out your hand
No, it doesn't work that wayIt's gonna be a long one
I'll be working all night long
It's gonna be a long one
But I'm paying my wayAnd there's not much joy in the work
Unless your born to do it, they say
And we gotta get down in the dirt now
If we wanna see some changeIt's gonna be a long one
I'll be working all night long
It's gonna be a long one
But I'm paying my wayAnd the heart is sliding backwards
On this long dark night of the soul
And you're the only thing
That keeps me going onIt's gonna be a long one
I'll be working my fingers to the bone
It's gonna be a long one

But I'm paying my wayWell, there's not much change in the weather
On this long walk home to you in the rain
And there's not much left in the purse now
By the time the bills are paidIt's gonna be a long one
I can't wait for that weekend to roll along
It's gonna be a long one
But I'm paying my wayIt's gonna be a long one
I'm gonna take you out dancing all night long
It's gonna be a long one
But I'm paying my wayFair work for fair pay
Yeah, I'm paying my way

Vocalist and guitarist for Irish rock group The Frames. Hansard quit school at age 13 to begin busking on local Dublin streets. He first came to public attention as guitar player 'Outspan Foster' in the Alan Parker film The Commitments, a role he subsequently regretted, believing it distracted from his music career. In 2003 he presented the first series of Other Voices: Songs from a Room, which showcased Irish music talent on RTÉ. He released The Swell Season, his first solo album, on April 21st 2006, in collaboration with a Czech singer and multiinstrumentalist Markéta Irglová, Marja Tuhkanen and Bertrand Galen.

Glen recently starred in the movie 'Once' alongside Markéta Irglová which won a prestigious Sundance Audience Award in 2007, as well as the 2008 Academy Award for Best Originial Song (for "Falling Slowly"), beating out three songs from the Disney musical "Enchanted" and one song from "August Rush" (both were heavy contenders). Its Irish release took place on 23rd March 2007 and appeared in cinemas further afield later in the year.

Glen's latest album, Rhythm and Repose, was released in June 2012.
