lyrics

When I come home
at the end of the day
I just wanna switch off
and float away
but I keep thinking about them
and the things that they say
I don’t wanna think about them
but my brain thinks about them anyway

I work like a dog.
I stare at a screen
I feel like a cog
In a machine

Even on my time off I’m on
I go home but I’m never gone
Even on my time off I’m on
Working like an automaton

I’m looking for something other people will like
But I don’t really know them and I won’t get it right
I’m seeking perfection in a ramshackle way
But there’s no such thing and you wouldn’t like it anyway

I work like a dog.
I stare at a screen
I feel like a cog
In a machine

Even on my time off I’m on
I go home but I’m never gone
Even on my time off I’m on
Working like an automaton
I can’t seem to leave it behind
Churning over stuff in mind
Can’t relax and can’t unwind
Daily nightly weekly grind

Yes I work in an office at a desk all day
I work on my laptop on my holiday
I work when I’m sleeping and I work when I’m awake
I don’t really care about the things I make
I work in the shower and I work in the bath
I work and I toil and I strive and I graft
Attend a never ending stream of tasks
Tasks in the mask of the career path
I haven’t got a hobby or a social life
I’m working for some strangers called my kids and wife
I work in the summer winter spring and fall
And none of what I’m working on has any point at all

about

Cursor Miner Berlin, Germany

Cursor Miner has been likened to what would happen if Beck and Bowie combined with Kraftwerk and Autechre in the middle of an early nineties illegal rave.

He has produced four albums, released on Lo Recordings and Uncharted Audio: Cursor Miner Requires Attention (2010), Danceflaw (2006), Cursor Miner Plays God (2004) and Explosive Piece Of Mind (2002). Inspiracy Theory is his fifth.
