The Artwoods
The Artwoods were an English rock band who formed in 1963 and were professionally active between 1964 and 1967. They were a popular live attraction, rivalling groups such as The Animals, although, despite releasing a clutch of singles and an album, their record sales never reflected this popularity.
History
Singer Arthur Wood, from whom the band took their name, was the eldest brother of Ronnie Wood (who later found fame with the Faces and Rolling Stones). Art Wood had been a vocalist with Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated for a short period during 1962, simultaneously fronting his own group, the Art Wood Combo. When keyboardist Jon Lord and guitarist Derek Griffiths from Red Bludd's Bluesicians joined the Art Wood Combo, the Artwoods were formed. With Keef Hartley, formerly with Rory Storm & The Hurricanes, joining on drums and Malcolm Pool from the Roadrunners joining as bassist, in December 1964 the band turned professional, securing a residency at London's 100 Club and signing a recording contract with Decca Records. Colin Martin joined from the band The Ingoes, who changed their name to The Blossom Toes. Colin went on to work at Radio 2 where he produced the like of Terry Wogan, Ken Bruce and Gloria Hunniford and was later appointed as Head of Music at the station.

by: GinuwineSaid I work my fingers down to the bone

And I bust my ass so you can live good
Yes I do, girl
Now all I want you to do is what you should
There it is
See there it is (there it is baby)
That ungrateful shit
There you go again, complanin'
What your aim is
I dont know but I'm...
I'm not doing this shit for nothing
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
You're not workin'
So what more you want?
Listen...
I do my best to give you what you need

The harder that I work, the less you see
Ooh baby (ooh baby)
Who wouldn't want the life you lead?
Just think about it
Living the good life, yeah
Practically scot-free, oh oh oh oh yeah
See there it is (there it is, there it is)
That ungrateful shit (you see what I'm talkin' 'bout)
There you again, bein' worse, um yeah
Like you earned somethin' round here
But let's be clear
I'm not doing this shit for nothing
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
You're not workin'
So what more you want?
You got three seconds, pack your shit and get on outta here
Gotta go, gotta go baby
You don't appreciate what a man like me is about
No you don't
And you know I'm workin' 9 to 5
Workin' hard everyday baby (listen)
Even put my name (put my name)
Even signed my name (signed my name)
Down for some overtime, yeah
See there you go (there you go, there you go)
Tryin' to run the show
Oh, you don't pay my car note
Pay my light bill
Pay my house note
I'm not doing this shit for nothing
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
You're not workin'
