lyrics

Grey box on the table, 6:12 on the clock

Badge clipped to my lanyard, keys cold in the lock

Fluorescent hum in the corridor, boots on the tile

I fold my blue apron neat, keep my face in a smile

Manager on the mezzanine, tapping that screen

Till rollcall at six, then I vanish clean

Hands on the scanner, I’m counting the minutes

One last bad break room, and I’m out of it

Last shift out, last shift out

Last shift out, last shift out

One more hour, one more round

Last shift out, last shift out

Tea gone cold in the mug with the cracked white ring

Tom in the loading bay still can’t say a thing

Rain on the Perspex roof, hard as a drum

I laugh at the rota, then I’m nearly numb

Till rollcall at six, then I vanish clean

Till rollcall at six, then I vanish clean

Thumb on the scanner, I’m counting the minutes

One last bad break room, and I’m out of it

Last shift out, last shift out

Last shift out, last shift out

One more hour, one more round

Last shift out, last shift out

Roll the cage door down, hear it bite the track

Someone left a biscuit tin, one sock in the back

My coat smells of oil and instant coffee foam

I hate every aisle here, still I know this is home

Last shift out, last shift out

Last shift out, last shift out

One more hour, one more round

Last shift out, last shift out
