Got a new song. It's about my life as a freelance software developer, travelling from company to company fixing their problems. Anyone who's worked as a "road warrior" should relate...

Selling Your Soul For The Man

Lying here in my hotel room

Just thinking over the work to do tomorrow

Weekday evening TV

Reality sets in, but not behind the picture

With my bottle of wine

I prepare myself for the excruciating boredom to come

Chorus

This life on the road

Forget the glamour, it’s not what it seems to be

Wilting through the pressure of it all

Yes remuneration’s good

It needs to be to make any of it worthwhile

Selling your soul for the man

Take away for dinner again

Fish and chips or that awful Chinese across the road

In the next-door room they’re having fun

It’s 2am, will I ever get to sleep tonight

I toss and turn

Knowing I’ve only got 4 hours before I have to go to work again
