Overview

Hooky: “I was working with Hybrid, and wrote this middle bit of a track, and thought, That’s too good to leave there, I’m having that, so I asked them and they said, That’s fine. And it turned into Krafty. And it’s just great.”

Steve: “It started as a jam, a bit like Lonnie Donegan. But then we put electronic noises in there.”

Credits

Produced by New Order and John Leckie, mixed by Rich Costey.

Lyrics

Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
That ain't the way it has to be

But that's what you do to earn your daily wage

View full lyrics 
Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
That ain't the way it has to be

But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we're living in today
Isn't where you wanna be 
And isn't what you wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've gotta let you know (I've gotta let you know)
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind)
I'll never let you go

You've gotta look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath a tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that tv you just don't care

They've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
And this is where I wanna be
And this is what I wanna do

Just give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go 

Just give me one more chance (one more chance)
Give me another night (just another night)
With just one more day (one more day)
Maybe we'll get it right (You know I'll get it right)

I'll say it one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
If I could change your mind (change your mind)
I'll never let you go
