Pointer Sisters, The - Dirty Work Lyrics
Times are hard
You're afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody
Who can do the job for free
When you need a bit of lovin'
That's the time you get me runnin'
And you know I'll be around
[Chorus:]
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before
Like the castle in it's corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same
[Chorus]

Pointer Sisters, The Dirty Work Comments
Just amazing. Country singer Toni Willé does a great version also but these sisters nail it.
Attention: This is a bad recording of the song. This is NOT at all what its supposed to sound like. This recording is pitched WAY down. Here is what its supposed to sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNoLqV-0TcI
This is really off-pitch.. is this live or a record?
exactly. its pitched down. here is what its supposed to sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNoLqV-0TcI
Love this cover, way better than Steely Dan
Love it
Saw Steely Dan do this and then the Pointers. This is one cover that nails it !
The slide down on the "do" in the chorus is so perfect. You can just feel their frustration and pain.
now this is what a steely dan cover should sound like. I hope you're watching Osmonds.
These sisters. are talent
Ok One Great sensitive tune.! The best off women group.

Jetzt zur Bewertung : 5 Sterne an die Gruppe Pointer Sisters . Dann weitere 5 Sterne an die Plattenfirma und an den Manager , an den Tonmeister und an alle anderen, die an diesem Album irgendwie beteiligt waren. So und jetzt is aber Feierabend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Schönes Album !!!! Läuft hin und wieder in Bayern 3 bei den " Greatest Hits "
( wenn es sich jemand tatsächlich wünschen sollte !)
Sehr gute Nummer von denen ! Haben jetzt auch Kreativpause ; Komisch , immer die guten Bands und Künstler machen sich rar , Aber wir gönnen´s ihnen !!! Trotzdem 5 Sterne und mehr von mir !!! Erschien auf dem Album : " Pointer Sisters - Greatest Hits " . Überall weltweit auf Platz 1 ! Das soll erstmal einer nachmachen .
Pointers do justice to Steely Dan. saw them live downtown Los Angeles, back in the day
I listen to this verion so often, that when I just listened to the Steely Dan original, I was surprised to hear him say "man,' intead of "woman." It was the '70's.
Most people don't realize this is more than a cover version-- this one changes the perspective. It's now from the woman's point of view, and she's refusing to be taken advantage of any more. There's a slight but important change in the words: in the Steely Dan version, they repeat "I don't wanna do your dirty work no more." But at the end of the Pointer Sisters version, they sing "I'm not gonna do your dirty work no more." It's about breaking free and starting again. Great break-up song!
Always liked this song heaps, but hadn't heard it for ages ... great to find it here ! ... Wayne
Good to hear this without having to use the record player!
excellent cover.
