Wasting my time,
Resting my mind
And I'll never pine
For the sad days and the bad days
When we was workin' from nine to five.
And if you don't mind
I'll spend my time
Here by the fire side
In the warm light and the love in her eyes.
And if you don't mind
I'll spend my time
Here by the fire side
In the warm light of her eyes
Resting my mind
And I'll never pine
For the sad days and the bad days
When we was workin' from nine to five.
And if you don't mind
I'll spend my time
Here by the fire side
In the warm light and the love in her eyes.
And if you don't mind
I'll spend my time
Here by the fire side
In the warm light of her eyes

As far as meaning, it's, I believe, a fairly straightforward lyric. It speaks of how you feel that time is just that. Time. Time to do this, or time to do that, it really does not matter, or effect the final outcome.
The over all feeling was renewed on Dark side of the moon, but originally seen here first. This particular song, and "Free Four" from Obscured by Clouds come to mind when I think of songs that alluded to any of their later 70's works. The alienation, themes of lost loved ones to war, etc...
The Trumpet solo at the end was played by Roger Waters who apparently had played the instrument in Grammar school.
The correct lyrics are:
Wasting my time,
Resting my mind
And I'll never pine
For the sad days and the bad days
When we was workin' from nine to five.
And if you don't mind
I'll spend my time
Here by the fire side
In the warm light of the love in her eyes.
And if you don't mind
I'll spend my time
Here by the fire side
In the warm light of the love in her eyes.
Also, not the date. What a sad April Fools joke, eh?
As my dad said when I played him this song, "you know a band is talented when they can write and play so many styles of music and make them all sound legitimate."
"miss, I'm absent" (several times)
The lyrics are better than most bands ever hit, and the riff at the end is very interesting.
When I say "end" I mean the last 3:30 or so.
i love the big band feel to this and the very powerfully distroted solo at the end being played over the horns. song always gets me going.
