about

Originally a Sweet Madness song recorded 1980 at Womach Studios and released on Made in Spokane Volume 1. This 1981 version by Next Exit was never released.

lyrics

You might tighten screws into this metal plate
Turn them once, just lie so, not hard to calculate
Or you might look for bad ones and then pick them out
But it depends upon the job you are assigned

You could file on this edge till it’s nice and smooth
See how that man’s doing it, I approve
Or you might polish down until the surface shines
But it depends upon the job you are assigned

You might punch a hole into this metal plate
Line it up, just like so, not hard to calculate
Or you might double check these ones already done
But it depends upon the way that you perform

And remember you are just a number
And remember you can be replaced
And please don’t take a break until the bell rings
And don’t forget to punch out if you leave
And I think that you will find this work a challenge
And I think that you could make it a career
And I think that you will really like it here
And I think that you will really like it here

You can have it, I don’t want it
This ain’t occupational therapy
Well, I I I don’t think it’s
What I had in mind
Don’t think it’s quite right for me
Don’t think it’s quite right for me

(Gregor)

Next Exit Seattle, Washington

In 1981 Sweet Madness ditched Spokane for Seattle and changed their name to Next Exit.

The new lineup featured a more guitar-driven sound, with lead guitarist Greg Morlan replacing keyboardist John Robison.

For their first live show, they played at a Drive-In Movie Theater on the roof of the concession stand.

Static Cling was the first song they wrote with the new lineup. ... more
