Featuring vocals by Steve Hale
I have a regular job, a normal job, a boring job
like everyone else on this little hot blue marble
I want something better
isn't that the way?
I'm told to want something better, so I want it
a glamorous occupation is what I deserve
my glamorous occupation
my glamorous occupation waits for me...
I want to do the fantastic, completely bombastic, without any glasses
I want to have the shiny things that blind my eyes
I want something perfect
doesn’t that sound good
I’m told to want perfect things, so I want them
a glamorous occupation is what I deserve
my glamorous occupation
my glamorous occupation (is looking for me...)
I toil away
these hours I spend
I’m always so sleepy
when the day comes to an end
I wish I had, the energy to follow my dreams
but I’d rather have them, handed to me
for free
then everyone will see
my glamorous occupation becomes me
a pilot, poet, playwright, acrobat, painter or diva
lion tamer, king of the world, model or zeppelin captain
international spy, chocolate tasting tester,
super hero, film star, evil genius, trust fund baby
I toil away
these hours I spend
I’m always so sleepy
when the day comes to an end
I wish I had, the energy to follow my dreams
but I’d rather have them, handed to me
for free
then everyone will see
my glamorous occupation becomes me
my glamorous occupation looks for me
(my glamorous occupation becomes me)
(my glamorous occupation waits for me)
(my glamorous occupation becomes me)
(my glamorous occupation looks for me)
everyone thinks I’m a star
but I just like the shiny things....
