Just a bunch of crooning over the cassette that came with the stereo unit my father bought in the 80s (Pud); an instrumental track that was designed to show the range of the stereo speakers!?!? So much more besides.

lyrics

So Much More

She’s the checkout girl
But she’s so much more besides
He drives an ice cream van
But he’s so much more besides
She’s an air hostess
But she’s so much more besides
She hates her job with a passion that may surprise, it may surprise you

He’s a hardware salesman
But he’s so much more besides
She’s a pharmacist
But she’s so much more, she’s lover to me
He’s a building inspector
But he’s so much more besides
He hates his job with a passion that may surprise, it may surprise you

(Sample from Hal Hartley movie)

“What do you think you are then?”
“I’m a writer”
“No you’re not, you’re a low rent real estate agent and you’re bad at your job.”
“I’m bad at my job on purpose. If I was any better at it I might become what I do for a living.”

“I’m only a waitress on the outside”

He’ll fix a window pane
She’ll do your colours
He’ll mend your shoes

She’s foot doctor
He’s a fireman
She’s a trained masseuse

He works in demolition
She’s a filing clerk
He’s a gas pump attendant

And she’s bringing home the tofu
She’s the one on whom I’m dependent
But she’s so much more
So much more besides
She hates her job with a passion that may surprise, it may surprise you
