Name: Dirty Work
Duration: P00H03M42S
Description: Lisa wrote this one - it was originally two separate demos, the second being the "Operator" section, which snuggled up nice with it. Sebastian got me to sing it during preproduction to our Comfort in Doubt sessions. I love it, but that second verse is brutal to sing…

lyrics

I stick to my instincts
I follow my nose, this girl earns her wage
The numbers they pass
Watch you fall on your ass
Just to play in the game

Someone’s got to get the dirty work done
Someone’s got bleed them to the bone

My hands in your pockets
Can’t bother with you, got your money to burn
The carrot is green
And I got it between my legs for the squeeze

Someone’s got to get the dirty work done
Someone’s got bleed them to the bone

Roll up my sleeves put on my shoes
I’ve got four words for you
I
I don’t
I don’t love
I don’t love you
Stand behind please take a number
How may I direct your call
Stand behind please take a number
How
may
I direct
Your
Call
How may I direct your call

Someone’s got to get the dirty work done
Someone’s got bleed them to the bone
Someone’s got to get the dirty work done
Someone’s got bleed them to the bone

The Failure
by And And And

Hell ya to And And And's songwriting, drummer Bim Ditson's post-punk mania and Berg Radin's swarm-of-bees guitar lines… there are few bands in PDX that get me this emotional involved. ♡ this band. Sama Dams

Art Songs
by Paper Gates

Andy played sax over Dirty Work and killed it over two other tracks that we've got in the vault. This release shows the depth of his great talents, and the shape of his unique musical mind. Aw yeah. Sama Dams
