Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
That nagging feeling that I really should retire at some point.
Lyrics
When I was younger I had a big dream Get myself a big buck guitar And become a star of stage and screen Well I kept that dream And I carried it with me And as I got older Although it didn't quite quit Life's strong winds and other such things Eroded it bit by bit But I kept my dream And it was still with me Well I've done my time and paid my dues I got nothing else left that I can't lose I'm gonna spend what's left the way I choose And just arse around a bit playing the blues I don't wanna work no more I don't wanna work no more I don't wanna work no more I don't wanna work no more Well I got too old and ugly To be any kind of star But dreamers it seems adapt their dreams And there was always the guitar So I made that my dream And that did me 'Cause if there's one thing that I can't stand It's when things work out the way I planned them Good luck, bad luck run in tandem My whole damn' life's completely random I don't wanna work no more I don't wanna work no more I don't wanna work no more I don't wanna work no more And then the golden day came The guitar came home The dream cane true, nothing else to do I guess I didn't quite think this through But that's the thing about dreams - They don't survive waking But there's one thing that I have learned: If you don't need the money you don't need to burn When all your fancies have been earned Just pack it all in before your head gets turned again I don't wanna work no more I don't wanna work no more I don't wanna work no more I don't wanna work no more
