[00:13.67]Andy was a catholic, the ethic ran through his bones
[00:18.37]He lived alone with his mother, collecting gossip and toys
[00:22.46]Every sunday when he went to church
[00:24.97]He'd kneel in his pew and he'd say, "it's just work...
[00:29.70]All that matters is work."
[00:32.97]He was a lot of things, what I remember most
[00:36.23]He'd say, "I've got to bring home the bacon
[00:39.01]Someone's got to bring home the roast."
[00:41.77]He'd get to the factory early
[00:44.06]If you'd ask him he'd have told you straight out
[00:46.32]"It's just work!"
[00:51.50]No matter what I did it never seemed enough
[00:53.26]He said I was lazy, I said I was young
[00:55.61]He said, "how many songs did you write?"
[00:57.98]I'd written zero, I'd lied and said "ten."
[01:00.42]"You won't be young forever,
[01:03.16]Tou should have written fifteen, It's work!"
[01:10.79]"You ought to make things big
[01:12.89]People like it that way
[01:14.97]And the songs with the dirty words – record them that way"
[01:19.81]Andy liked to stir up trouble, he was funny that way
[01:24.04]He said, "it's just work"
[01:30.01]Andy sat down to talk one day
[01:31.82]He said decide what you want
[01:34.79]Do you want to expand your parameters
[01:36.10]Or play museums like some dilettante
[01:38.75]I fired him on the spot, he got red and he called me a rat
[01:45.15]It was the worst word that he could think of
[01:46.65]And I've never seen him like that
[01:48.45]It's just work, I thought he said it's just work
[01:56.18]Work, he said it's just work
[02:06.82]Andy said a lot of things, I stored them all away in my head
[02:10.33]Sometimes when I can't decide what I should do
[02:13.14]I think what would Andy have said
[02:15.78]He'd probably say "you think too much"
[02:18.04]That's 'cause there's work that you don't want to do
[02:20.50]It's work, the most important thing is work
[02:24.23]It's work, the most important thing is work
