Andy was a catholic |
[00:12.06] |
The ethic ran through his bones |
[00:14.27] |
He lived alone with his mother |
[00:16.85] |
Collecting gossip and toys |
[00:19.00] |
Every sunday when he went to church |
[00:21.51] |
He'd kneel in his pew and say |
[00:23.85] |
It's work |
[00:25.85] |
All that matters is work |
[00:29.36] |
He was a lot of things |
[00:31.03] |
What I remember most he'd say |
[00:33.48] |
I've got to bring home the bacon |
[00:35.15] |
Someone's got to bring home the roast |
[00:38.04] |
He'd get to the factory early |
[00:40.17] |
If you'd ask him he'd tell you straight out |
[00:42.35] |
It's work |
[00:47.53] |
No matter what I did it never seemed enough |
[00:49.66] |
He said I was lazy, I said I was young |
[00:52.50] |
He said, how many songs did you write |
[00:54.88] |
I'd written zero, I'd lied and said, ten |
[00:57.29] |
You won't be young forever |
[00:59.27] |
You should have written fifteen |
[01:01.86] |
It's work |
[01:06.96] |
You ought to make things big |
[01:09.24] |
People like it that way |
[01:11.48] |
And the songs with the dirty words |
[01:13.70] |
Make sure your record them that way |
[01:16.10] |
Andy liked to stir up trouble |
[01:18.37] |
He was funny that way |
[01:20.80] |
He said, it's just work |
[01:25.74] |
Andy sat down to talk one day |
[01:28.00] |
He said decide what you want |
[01:30.45] |
Do you want to expand your parameters |
[01:32.55] |
Or play museums like some dilettante |
[01:35.26] |
I fired him on the spot |
[01:37.05] |
He got red and called me a rat |
[01:39.79] |
It was the worst word that he could think of |
[01:42.08] |
And I've never seen him like that |
[01:44.81] |
It's work |
[01:46.79] |
I thought he said it's just work |
[02:03.29] |
Andy said a lot of things |
[02:05.31] |
I stored them all away in my head |
[02:06.99] |
Sometimes when I can't decide what I should do |
[02:09.78] |
I think what would andy have said |
[02:11.97] |
He'd probably say you think too much |
[02:14.15] |
That's cause there's work that you don't want to do |
[02:17.05] |
It's work |
[02:18.68] |
The most important thing is work |
[02:21.51] |
It's work |
[02:23.00] |
The most important thing is work |
