Slavin Away - The Fiery Furnaces[00:00:00]

Slavin' away[00:00:00]

All for you my love[00:00:03]

And I've nothin' to show for it[00:00:06]

Cept my dusty old book full of pictures[00:00:10]

A dusty old book[00:00:13]

Tell me a story[00:00:16]

Bout how I wasn't so tired[00:00:19]

From my slavin' away[00:00:22]

I ran off[00:01:19]

Put on corduroy knickers that I got from the coal shovelin' kid[00:01:22]

And hitchhiked in a rickety old ford[00:01:26]

Hitchhiked in a rattly old norton side car[00:01:30]

Down strange roads[00:01:34]

In the purrin' rain as the poet put it[00:01:37]

On up to st Paul[00:01:42]

On a cold day in the middle of the fall[00:01:44]

And they picked me up for not wearin' a dress[00:01:49]

And suspended my sentence[00:01:54]

If I wore somethin' with a strap that was pink[00:01:56]

And I scrubbed up on somebody's sink[00:02:00]

So now I catch the canadian pacific[00:02:03]

And not be too specific just somewhere up north[00:02:07]

And get into lumber and slumber when I like[00:02:11]

And in the spring ride down into cheyenne on my bike[00:02:14]

I looked out the window[00:03:26]

And I stuck my head out the door[00:03:30]

And the snow was melting so slow[00:03:35]

And the sky was light but so gray[00:03:42]

Slavin' away[00:03:48]

And all for nothin' my love[00:03:51]

Cookin' and washin' in the morning[00:03:55]

And startin' at 9:25[00:03:59]

I assemble six boxes of little plastic christmas trees[00:04:02]

And put in the blue leds[00:04:09]

On kid toy cell phones with borg batteries[00:04:12]

And then on to the sewing machine[00:04:15]

Stick the labels on purple T-shirts[00:04:18]

And the arms on pull-over jumpers for the uk[00:04:22]

Slavin' away[00:04:27]

All for you my love[00:04:30]

And I've nothin' to show for it[00:04:33]

I've nothin' to show for it[00:04:37]

I could see her lookin' in the mirror at me[00:05:44]

Wonderin' if it wasn't plain for everyone to see[00:05:49]

Nothin' ever seemed to turn out how it might be[00:05:55]

I could see her doubting now that all had gone and went[00:06:01]

That anything she got was equal what that she'd spent[00:06:07]

That she never seemed to get back what that she'd lent[00:06:13]

Anyway they did have a son[00:06:19]

And by the time he was married and I played at his wedding too at holy trinity[00:06:21]

I was choir director myself[00:06:24]

Rehearsals in the basement twice a week[00:06:28]

I demanded we'd be in peak condition[00:06:34]

And everything seemed to be going quite well[00:06:38]

I got along well with the priest[00:06:44]
