if u look at the original lp genesis - genesis look at the inner sleeve and theres little pictures to each song, this song as got a picture that looks like dick tracy. so i think this song is about dick tracy. if im wrong someone please correct me. :-) great tune/great album silver rainbow & taking it all to hard & its gonna get better are great aswell. possibly my favorate genesis album. can any 1 remember to toy were uv got 2 put the right shapes in the right holes ( thats the cover :-)
I asked our local rock station to play this song. They said, "we don't play Genesis". I said trust me. They played it, and at the end the DJ said, "what a great song"! 'nuff said. Thanks Glickton
Hell yeah. Actually, I'm surprised that more stations don't play Genesis, seeing as they're edgier and more interesting than stuff like Linkin Park and that brand of "rock".
"Just A Job To Do" by Genesis is about seasoned PI Michael Ironside who gets into one nefarious scrape after another. Only his female assistant, Connie Seleca, can see through his gruff exterior to the gentle soul inside.
Amazing but unless I am mistaken there was never a video released for this song. It was a huge song in 83-84 too, all over the radio at the time when I was a freshman in highschool and I loved it.
92.5 here in Dallas started playing this one every once in a while recently.

this song was the theme song for a miami vice ripoff show on abc. i think it was called ' the insiders' starring stoney jackson.
