about

For the early teenager Jan Strandqvist, the contact with Donna Summer became life-changing:
-Working the Midnight Shift was the first Giorgio Moroder-produced song with Donna Summer I heard and fell in love with it in 1977.

Then the punk movement came and changed everything.

Now it felt quite right to return to this and with Susanne Jonsson at the mike all fell into place. It was time to try to find that feeling again.

lyrics

Working The Midnight Shift
I'm just a working girl, just earning a living
When the city's waking up, I'm going home

Working the midnight shift
While my friends are all out
They've all gone out dancing
They're out having fun

Working that midnight shift
For that extra little something
The things that are out of my reach
I need so bad

So bad, so bad

Seems like I'm always leaving
When all the others arrive
My body still carries on
But I'm dying inside

Working the midnight shift
While my friends are all out
They've all gone out dancing
They're out having fun

Working that midnight shift
For that extra little something
The things that are out of my reach
I need so bad

I need so bad, need so bad

Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift

I'm just a working girl
Just earning a living
When the city's waking up
I'm going home

Working the midnight shift
While my friends are all out
They've all gone out dancing

Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
Midnight shift, midnight shift
