lyrics

You haven’t got a job and the world thinks you’re a slob
‘Cos you spend the whole day watching television
But they haven’t got a clue what it’s like being you
As you plumb the depths of clinical depression
You’ve attended all the schemes designed to butter up your dreams
But you know you’re just a government statistic
All your bills are in the red you can’t get out of bed
‘Cos what’s the point of being optimistic

You’ve got Work Anxiety Syndrome

You’be been working nine to five for as long as you remember
Bringing home a steady weekly wage
You used to have ambition now your hair is in recession
And you’re on the downward slope of middle age
Now it’s all done by computer and you’re just a dumb comuter
Your manager’s are younger than your children
Every day seems like a year and it’s boring you to tears
But your hanging tough ‘till you can draw your pension

You’ve got Work Anxiety Syndrome

You’ve been running at a loss since your dad made you the boss
You never seem to make the right decision
You’ve got all the aires and graces and a fancy pair for braces
But life hasn’t been the same since you left eaton
You’d like to jack the whole thing in a slice of lemon with your gin
And sai your boat around the caribean
But the firm is in your blood handed down from up above
And you can’t escape the family tradition

You’ve got Work Anxiety Syndrome

Jim Pearson UK

"You never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it's gonna be pretty darn good." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
