lyrics

(mm)

Pipeline broke at two, I found it at ten past
Fixed it by three, nobody woke up, nobody knew
By nine the work was there like it had always been there
(always been there)
That's the job: making the near-disaster look like Tuesday

There is no metric for the thing that didn't happen
(didn't happen)
Which is most of what I do

Nobody sees the save
(the save, the save)
Only the goal, only the file, only the finish
Nobody sees the save
And that's correct, and I still wrote it down

Det ar en konstig sak att vara stolt over i tysthet
Twelve hours a week of catastrophes that never occurred
I keep a private list. It has ninety-one entries.
(ninety-one entries)
Nobody will ever read it, which is sort of the point

Entry ninety-two was last night.
It would have lost four days of somebody's work.
It took eleven minutes. Nobody will ever know. Good.

Nobody sees the save
(the save, the save)
Only the goal, only the file, only the finish
Nobody sees the save
And that's correct, and I still wrote it down

(ninety-two...)
