The Kleptones Sixteen Sisters - 1025 Lyrics

What's the matter with you?
Sorry, I can't...yeah, I'm having trouble
What time is it?
About half 10
Cellphones, faxes, voicemail, pagers, couriers, email, radio, catalogues, answering machines, floppy disks, magazines, multi-section newspapers, cable TV, digital TV, never before in human history have we had so much to digest. Spawning, multiplying, frothing at the mouth to create a cacophony of data

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
(Time goes by so slowly)
I said I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
(Time goes by so slowly)
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
(Time goes by so slowly)
And the straw-boss said, "Well, bless my soul"
(Time goes by so slowly)

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
Because I owe my soul to the company store

Well if you see me coming better step aside
I said a lot of men didn't and a lot of men died, yeah
One fist of iron, the other of steel
And if the right one don't get you, then the left one's gonna get you

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
Because I owe my soul to the company store

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Take me back home
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Take me back home
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
