[00:04.10]	Andy was a catholic, the ethic ran through his bones
[00:13.98]	He lived alone with his mother, collecting gossip and toys
[00:19.22]	Every sunday when he went to church
[00:21.56]	He'd kneel in his pew and say, "it's just work,
[00:25.40]	All that matters is work."
[00:28.10]	He was a lot of things, what I remember most
[00:33.24]	He'd say, "I've got to bring home the bacon,
[00:35.74]	someone's got to bring home the roast."
[00:38.21]	He'd get to the factory early
[00:40.41]	If you'd ask him he'd tell you straight out
[00:42.75]	It's just work,
[00:48.57]	No matter what I did it never seemed enough
[00:50.34]	He said I was lazy, I said I was young
[00:52.35]	He said, "how many songs did you write?"
[00:55.59]	I'd written zero, I'd lied and said, "ten."
[00:57.25]	"You won't be young forever
[00:59.45]	You should have written fifteen."
[01:02.20]	It's work,
[01:05.61]	"you ought to make things big
[01:09.53]	People like it that way
[01:11.83]	And the songs with the dirty words –make sure record them that way"
[01:16.61]	Andy liked to stir up trouble, he was funny that way
[01:20.81]	he said that's just work
[01:27.14]	Andy sat down to talk one day
[01:28.54]	He said decide what you want
[01:30.34]	Do you want to expand your parameters
[01:32.93]	Or play museums like some dilettante
[01:35.99]	I fired him on the spot, he got red and called me a rat
[01:39.92]	It was the worst word that he could think of
[01:42.71]	And I've never seen him like that
[01:45.34]	It's just work, I thought he said it's just work
[02:03.79]	Andy said a lot of things, I stored them all away in my head
[02:07.32]	Sometimes when I can't decide what I should do
[02:09.76]	I think what would andy have said
[02:12.52]	He'd probably say you think too much
[02:14.70]	That's 'cause there's work that you don't want to do
[02:16.60]	It's work, the most important thing is work
[02:19.88]	It's work, the most important thing is work
