  • Hardly Working - Limited Edition Cassette
    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

Are you dressed for success?
There’s no time for flirtin’.
I might look like a mess, 
I’ve been hardly workin’.
The sun left in the west,
and I stayed for dessertin’.
I guess I must confess,
I’ve been hardly workin’.
 
I’ve been working hardly,
arrived real tardy.
Just came in from a real sweet party.
I’m under slept, over paid,
my maximum work for your minimum wage.
Killing some time in beautiful way,
towing the line in until the coffee break,
are you watching the clock, punching your card,
are you working hardly,
or working?
 
Are you dressed for success?
while the workday is lurkin’.
I should take a deep breath,
before I start to shirking.
Oh, it’s such a big mess,
and my back is a hurtin’
I guess I must digress,
I’ve been hardly working.
 
I’ve been working hardly,
arrived real tardy.
Just came in from a real sweet party.
I’m under slept, over paid,
my maximum work for your minimum wage.
Killing some time in beautiful way,
towing the line in until the coffee break,
are you watching the clock, punching your card,
are you working hardly,
or working?
 
Are you dressed for success?
There’s no time for flirtin’. 
Oh, it’s such a big mess.
I’ve been hardly workin’.

The Burning Hell

The Burning Hell is the ongoing musical project of songwriter Mathias Kom and multi-instrumentalists Ariel Sharratt and Jake Nicoll, often including additional comrades and collaborators.

Their densely populated genre-shifting songs are packed with an abundance of literary, historical, cultural, and pop-cultural forebears, heroes and villains, subjects and objects, stories and hooks.
