Mein Bitte Lyrics

Artist: Jane Siberry
Album: The Speckless Sky

I want a good deal
better if it's free
but I charge a lot
want more money
don't want to work
just want more pay
cut corners here
make more that way

(meanwhile...)

I work in a large room
(I work in a room that's large and bare)
I'm at this workbench every day
(I never miss a day)
I keep my tools very organized
(I have a special place
for all my tools)
this tinny radio is all I play
(I love music)

I'm working on this new invention
(and I'm really, really excited about it)
I think it needs something extra here
(in the evenings I read tool catalogues)
I'm studying the grain of my workbench
(I can fix anything you like)
I'm humming a tune while I wait
for the answer to appear

when I get stuck I go fishing
put in the clutch so to speak and glide
I coast among the rabble
and the right words
in my work I take great pride

(meanwhile)

I need more things
I need more money
don't want to work
want things for free
cut corners here
make more that way
I have no pride
the world is unfair
wah...

my shop is a long meadow
in a winding landscape
in a series of elevations
with a few cows
and a babbling brook

I love to do what I love to do
this excludes anything I don't like to do
the pleasure is in the peace of mind
the pleasure is mine
mein bitte...
