    Cassette + Digital Album

    We're back from our Never Work / Hardly Working tour and we have just 25 copies of the EP on cassette left! We expected to come back with many more, but perhaps what the kids have been saying is finally true and tapes are back at last? Anyway, if tapes are your thing and this is a thing you want, this is where you can get this thing, while they last. Apologies for the shipping costs - Canada Post is squeezing blood from every stone they can these days.

lyrics

Well you know I don’t know but I have been told
That when Baby Jesus created the world
He took some time off on day seven because
Making dragons and hobbits was tiring

But a lesser known fact is that on the fifth
When Brahma and Buddha made the birds and the fish
They showed up to work in pyjamas and that was
The very first casual Friday

Casual Friday
Our reflections are shining
In the glass of the office doors sliding
Open onto the beautiful world

So take off your necktie and put on your Uggs
Find your tearaway track pants, fill the pockets with drugs
Wear your sunglasses all morning because
You don’t have to make any eye contact

When you arrive at the office high five everyone
Play Jimmy Buffet through the intercom
Today you can all do whatever you want
It’s written right there in your contract

Casual Friday
Our reflections are shining
In the glass of the office doors sliding
Open onto the beautiful world

Wear novelty socks, an inappropriate dress
Drink cocktails at lunch, leave the break room a mess
There’s no boots to lick, there’s no one to impress
There’s no fear of reviews or dismissals

And there’s no need for Human Resources no more
We tip wastebaskets and casually pour gas on the floor
Light a casual match as we walk out the door
And we all play our flutes and our whistles

I went to the oracle, I had an appointment
She told me the future is made for enjoyment
As long as we take a casual approach to employment
Every day can be casual Friday
