Everything is bleak It's the middle of the night You're all alone and The dummies might be right You feel like a jerk My music at work My music at work Avoid trends and cliches Don't try to be up to date And when the sunlight gets the olive oil Don't hesitate The night's so long it hurts My music at work In a symbol to near or far Or the anatomy of a stain To determine where you are In a sink full of ganges, I'd remain No matter what you heard My music at work My music at work My music at work I call it Olga Waits The cloud that entertains The dim possibility of Showing some restraint The rain came down berserk My music at work My music at work On a star beyond the chart Or the dark side of a drop of rain Determining where you are In a sink full of ganges, I remain No matter what you heard My music at work My music at work My music at work Everything is bleak It's the middle of the night You're all alone and The dummies might be right Outside, the darkness lurks My music at work My music at work Hey fallen hummingbird My music at work From the middle of the earth My music at work Bound for bed without dessert My music at work My music at work My music at work
Only 13,010 views? Come on. Thanks guys, song takes me back to those dreadful midnights on the border on a cold winter Canadian evening "keeping order restored."
if go on the website the hip museum type it in in google it tells you wat all hte lyrics mean there are lots of metaphors and hiddem messages wit in the lyrics blow at high dough means- you cant walk before you can crawl!
I don`t know about that. What I do know is this song`s lyrics could have been Cantonese. the SOUND was awesome. The vocals harmonized perfectly. I fell in love with this song instantly without knowing what the hell they were saying till I bought the CD and got hold otf the lyrics. Still. Next to RUSH, best Canadian band. World? forget it! I think Stones, Beatles, Who, Doors, Zeppelin and Kinks may have to differ.
People that say they love thier job need to find something else in their lives. You shouldnt hate your job, and i like my job but i dont wake up on Monday morning thinking i am so excited to go in to work today.......i would say only about 2% of the poulation could say they love their job, mabey like pro athletes or entertainers. live to work or work to live?
Gord Downnie wrote the concepts of many of the Hip's videos. But this one was directed by Bruce Ian McCulloch, Canadian actor, comedian, writer, musician and film director. McCulloch is perhaps best known for his work as a member of the comedy troupe The Kids in the Hall. Bruce won best Best Music Video Director award in Canada that year for it.

Everything is bleak
It's the middle of the night
You're all alone and
The dummies might be right
You feel like a jerk
My music at work
My music at work
Avoid trends and cliches
Don't try to be up to date
And when the sunlight gets the olive oil
Don't hesitate
The night's so long it hurts
My music at work
In a symbol to near or far
Or the anatomy of a stain
To determine where you are
In a sink full of ganges, I'd remain
No matter what you heard
My music at work
My music at work
My music at work
I call it Olga Waits
The cloud that entertains
The dim possibility of
Showing some restraint
The rain came down berserk
My music at work
My music at work
On a star beyond the chart
Or the dark side of a drop of rain
Determining where you are
In a sink full of ganges, I remain
No matter what you heard
My music at work
My music at work
My music at work
Everything is bleak
It's the middle of the night
You're all alone and
The dummies might be right
Outside, the darkness lurks
My music at work
My music at work
Hey fallen hummingbird
My music at work
From the middle of the earth
My music at work
Bound for bed without dessert
My music at work
My music at work
My music at work
I'm proud to be CANADIAN!!!
I posted this once and got flamed for it. But I think of this as Canada's REM.
this was the first Hip song i saw a video for, a couple yrs ago
Love The HIp

Considine Heights
other then the lead singers (especially what they do on stage) i don't see much other resemblance.
Sauer Villages
none of the hip's songs make any sense but that doesn't mean they don't rock
don't for get the trailer park boys
Maybe not creative but definitely true! :)
Such a shame that such a brilliant band came out of the same country as Nickelback :|
Oh fuck off, nothing wrong with Nickelback.
