The task is on you. It is yours to do.
Large or small, it remains to be done
Large or small, it remains to be done
Procrastination can set in
You can find any number of things to do
To avoid facing the task
Lyrics start dancing in my head
The song I knew, had known for years
Had heard the original by the Band
Listened to many covers
The song I knew, had known for years
Had heard the original by the Band
Listened to many covers
"Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)"
It was catchy, could stick with you
Become a earworm
A term I discovered later would apply
To this sensation, this feeling
A term I discovered later would apply
To this sensation, this feeling
Focus dispels the fog, clears the way
Sets the steps to action
Whether sweat is required or not
The action underway soon completes
Gradual and then all at once
The fog is gone, the weight is lifted
Life is free, possibilities abound
Until the next task comes around
"Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)"
