We were almost creatures of leisure
Now we're playing for your listening pleasure
We try to make it loud enough for you
Threads and licks and jokes and pretty lights too
I asked for a job but they said there was something wrong
"Get your act together boys, don't tune up between every song"
Be on time, don't talk too much on stage
Do as you're told if you want to earn a wage
Does it sound alright?
Does it sound alright?
Does it sound alright at the front?
Hear it at the back?
Can you hear it at the back?
Has the P.A. got enough grunt?
We can be professional but business and pleasure don't mix
We were almost creatures of leisure
