I need to be in job.

The hardest thing I've ever done

is keep believing

There's someone in this business world for me

The way that people come and go

Through temporary lives

My chance could come and I might never know

---------------------

I used to say " No jobs

Let's keep me free"

But long holidays only helps me  say "boring days"

It took a while for me to learn

That nothing comes for free

The price I've paid is not high enough for me

--------------------

I know I need to be in job

I know I've wasted too much time

I know I ask perfection of

A quite imperfect world

And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

----------------------

So here I am with pockets full of employment offers

But none of them will make me motivated today

I'm wide awake at four a.m

Without a colleague  in sight

Hanging on a hope but I'm alright

----------

I know I need to be in job

I know I've wasted too much time

I know I ask perfection of

A quite imperfect world

And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

 

50年前、英語を学び始めたころの憧れは、

カーペンターズの歌詞を聞き取ることでした。

10年前、中国語を学び始めたころの憧れは、

テレサテンの歌詞を聞き取ることでした。
