Lookin' at Tomorrow (A Welfare Song)

	Alan Jardine puts an optimistic spin on the unemployed rail-runner, willing to do what it takes to make a gainful living, and looking forward to better days. A nice listen, featuring Jardine's vocal which is always welcome, and some interesting echoey guitar production, but overall a rather minor folkish effort.	Bruce Beatlefan	November 17, 2008

Lyrics

I've been laying on my back
Like a freight train off a track
Trying to find a job to fit my trade
With the morning sun come 'round
Well I'll be covering plenty of ground
And I don't need nobody to pay my aid
Mmmm pay my aid

Now Bess and me were feeling bad
And all the good jobs they were had
I had to take to sweeping up some floors
Well I don't mind that so much
Or the changing of my luck
But you know I could be doing so much more

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip

Well I'll be coming home tonight
Everything will be all right
And we'll be looking at tomorrow
