Island Desk Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Christian clocks in at Mooront Bay Same old tickets, same old gray One more “urgent” by half past ten He fixes it once, then fixes it again Chris keeps nodding, never helps Leaves the whole floor to someone else And Jack shows up with a brand new pitch Talking loud like he knows the switch [Pre-Chorus] He says he’s got a master plan But the wires die in his hands Christian just keeps the whole thing alive While the room goes “how does he survive?” [Chorus] Christian does the work Christian does the work While they talk big talk He makes it all work Christian does the work Christian does the work When the whole place stalls He makes it all work [Verse 2] Jack sells boxes to the new recruits Sweet-talking every lawyer suit Says “I’m technical, trust me, mate” Then breaks three things before lunch break He claims three homelands in one breath Changes his name like changing depth But Christian keeps the desk on track Picks up the pieces, never looks back [Pre-Chorus] Another call, another mess Another “quick fix” guess Christian stays calm, keeps it tight Turns chaos into “all right” [Chorus] Christian does the work Christian does the work While they talk big talk He makes it all work Christian does the work Christian does the work When the whole place stalls He makes it all work [Bridge] Late day, same fluorescent hum He’s the one they come to, one by one No crown, no cheer, just grit and skill He keeps that whole floor standing still [Final Chorus] Christian does the work Christian does the work While they talk big talk He makes it all work Christian does the work Christian does the work At Mooront Bay He makes it all work
