about

The whole point of this album... this song is about the day in the life of a musician... and how hard it is to live the dream.. to make every penny earned come from music.

lyrics

The Musician

I live my life in the nine to five,
Civilized but I’m not satisfied,
Don’t think that I can live much longer,
Knowing my lot in life is stronger,

(But I) feel there’s no illusion,
My destiny’s dying,
(I’m) fed up with confusion,
To myself I’m lying.

And I’m waiting for my time to come,
I’m getting it on now, getting it on now,
And I’m hoping for my first born son,
Setting it up now, setting it up now, yeah…

I work myself through a masquerade,
Educate but I guess it’s too late,
Don’t think I perform this vocation,
Knowing my tuneful occupation.

(But I) feel there’s no illusion,
My destiny’s dying,
(I’m) fed up with confusion,
To myself I’m lying.

And I’m laying down my masterpiece
I’m playing it out now, playing it out now,
And I’m standing on my own two feet,
Sitting it out now, sitting it out now, yeah…

Fingers & thumbs in the right places,
Picking a way through changing paces,
Strumming away to make a living,
Playing to records but I’m changing,

Under the table and dreaming of many things,
Songs in the key of life I am listening,
To all my hopes and fears, take away the tears of a clown,
I need you around, I need you around,

Is there anything wrong, trying to make it?
Is there anything wrong, trying to take it?
