Lyrics
[Verse 1] Get up in the morning, it's a quarter to eight I've overslept once again, now I'm running late Run from the house, try to reach the train Yet again I missed it, I'm gonna be late again [Verse2] Boss he's shouting, what time do you think this is? I smile at him and say five past nine, that's what time it is Works piling up, files all over the desk And that phone won't stop ringing, it's driving me round the twist [Chorus] I'm sick of the city So sick of the city I'm sick of the city working night and day I'm sick of the city So sick of the city I'm sick of the city working night and day [Verse 3] Soon gets round to eleven and it's coffee time Everybody's nattering, gab gab gab the weathers fine Not long to lunch, will I make it through the day? I don't think I would do this job if it wasn't for the pay [Verse 4] So the day keeps dragging, going on and on I'll be so pleased when another week has gone Five o'clock, its here at last,, I run down to the train People crushed against people' squashed, here we go again [Chorus] I'm sick of the city So sick of the city I'm sick of the city working night and day I'm sick of the city So sick of the city I'm sick of the city working night and day Gotta be more than that [instrumental I'm sick of it [instrumental [Bridge] We spend our lives Working away Working week in, week out Working just for our pay (Gotta be more, gotta be more, gotta be more to life than that) (Gotta be more, gotta be more, gotta be more to life than that) (Gotta be more, gotta be more, gotta be more to life than that) .(Gotta be more, gotta be more, gotta be more to life than. ....... [verse 5] Get up in the morning, it's a quarter to eight I've overslept once again, now I'm running late Run from the house, try to reach the train Yet again I missed it, I'm gonna be late again [verse 6] O the day keeps dragging, going on and on I'll be so pleased when another week has gone Five o'clock, its here at last,, I run down to the train People crushed against people' squashed, here we go again [Chorus] I'm sick of the city So sick of the city I'm sick of the city working night and day (Gotta be more, gotta be more, gotta be more to life than that) I'm sick of the city So sick of the city I'm sick of the city working night and day (Gotta be more, gotta be more, gotta be more to life than that) (Gotta be more, gotta be more, gotta be more to life than that) (Gotta be more, gotta be more, gotta be more to life than that) Gotta be more, gotta be mo
