Awake at 0415 Sleep still in my eyes Bundle up crib **** and a **** Shave clean Coffee on the boil Then, on the road. Lit ciggy Volume still up from last night Knock it down a notch Until the ears can focus...
Swipe on, turnstile spins Follow in suit Say g'day to nightshift As the hi-vis is donned PPE all strapped on Steel capped **** kickers Helmet slap, follow the crowd To prestart.
Sit and nod, coffee lukewarm Handover from nights Sign on lads and ladies Lock on, work instruction, THA We are all dressed the same The same team With the same goal To go home...
We don't know how it all works In our silo, doing our bit For our 12 hour stint For 7 days.
Just before 6 With our bodies worn and ready For a quiet bevvy With mates we made at work Swipe off, turnstile spins Say g'day to nightshift It'll be our turn next swing Top job, had a win.
Microwave feed Boots at the door TV just for the noise Stare at the phone They ring before bed Let it ring out How was your day? Same as every other, don't bother.
