From Wikipedia
For the Working Class Man is the second studio album by Australian rock singer Jimmy Barnes, released in 1985. The album was released in the US on Geffen as Jimmy Barnes. It was re-released in 2005 in a special 20th anniversary edition, CD/DVD box set. The album itself has sold more than 500,000 copies (7 x Platinum), meaning that one in forty Australians own a copy of this album. The front cover art of Barnes standing in a burning Sugarcane field became one of the iconic images of Australian rock music in the 1980s. The original release of this album was as a double-vinyl issue with sides one and two featuring the first five songs and the third and fourth sides featuring the remaining tracks, which were remixed versions of songs from Barnes' debut Bodyswerve. This album was specifically geared toward securing Barnes a break into the American music market, recorded in New York and Los Angeles with a variety of producers and international musicians. Journey keyboards player Jonathan Cain wrote "Working Class Man" and "American Heartbeat", Steven Van Zandt penned "Ride the Night Away" and producer Chas Sandford wrote "I'd Die to Be with You Tonight". "Working Class Man" was used in the soundtrack to the Ron Howard film Gung Ho.
【Working Class Man Lyrics】
working hard to make a living
bringing shelter from the rain
a fathers son left to carry on
blue denim in his vein
oh oh oh he's a working class man
well he's a steel town deciple
he's a legend of his kind
he's running like a cyclone
across the wild mid western sky
oh oh oh he's a working class man
he believes in god and elvis
he gets out when he can
he did his time in vietnam
still mad at uncle sam
he's a simple man
with a heart of gold
in a complicated land
oh he's a working class man
well he loves a little woman
someday he'll make his wife
saving all the overtime
for the one love of his life
he ain't worried about tomorrow
cause he just made up his mind
life's too short for burning bridges
take it one day at a time
oh oh oh he's a working class man
oh oh oh he's a working class man
oh yeah
yes he is
well he's a working class man
oh
ma ma . . . . . . . i tell you he's a working class man |
