Hooky: “I think this should be a single. It’s dead rocky. I play it when I DJ and people go mad.”
Steve: “I love this one because it’s based around my drum riff. It sounds a bit Stoogey, but it’s not meant to be. But most of music is thievery isn’t it? Sometimes I hear a song on the radio and think, This is good, is it one of ours? Then the red mist descends and I think, You robbing bastards!”
Produced by New Order and Stephen Street, mixed by Stephen Street and Cenzo Townshend, engineered by Cenzo Townshend.
Who’s that over there Looks like he don’t care Almost lost his mind Too much working overtime Gotta get out every night …
Who’s that over there Looks like he don’t care Almost lost his mind Too much working overtime Gotta get out every night City gates are open wide Gotta get away from here Take that car and push that gear He don’t need no one He’s the rising sun He won’t shed no tears Got no time to break down here Hey He’s going nowhere fast Just a piece of dirty trash All alone, by his self He don’t need nobody else Walking down the street So much going on People everywhere Look at him but they don’t care See that world out there Make it go away You can’t change his mind Too much working overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Overtime Overtime Overtime He crossed that picket line In trouble all the time Where did it all go wrong House music all night long All those girls out there Looking for the one Do they really care Could they just be having fun He did all he could Tried to get it right Somewhere he went wrong Too much working overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Hey Overtime Overtime Overtime Overtime

Bernard: “I was worried that things were getting a bit flowery and melodic and chordy, so it’s great to have a track like this, with a dumb one finger riff. You should never forget that the best music is simple and you don’t have to be a great musician to make it.”
