Posies - Ironing Tuesdays lyrics

rate me

37

"don't break your back for me," she said

17

Without hesitation

28

All these things we don't need, and

1b

Two saved up vacations

5

29

Well don't you recall mornings spent

1a

Half naked in a fray?

18

Fighting over money

1e

Wishing we could run away

5

b

Chorus

37

(from) washing saturdays and ironing tuesdays (x2)

5

27

Once we had just one room to share

19

But now we have many

25

But i'll work just as hard as if

17

We didn't have any

5

25

Well i'd relive the blunders and

1c

Mistakes that i've made

28

And sacrifice the precious, useless

1a

Money that i've saved

5

11

Chorus (for)

5

25

I could have given up hope (and)

21

We could have split up (but)

20

Boxes of laundry soap (and)

18

Babies that spit up

15

Kept us together

5

22

All of these luxuries we have

1c

They're just ornamental

24

And whether we have them or not

2a

We can still afford to be sentimental

5

30

'bout times that try us, times that make us

19

Work just to survive

25

Ties that bind us, and remind us

1b

That we're still alive

5

12

Repeat chorus

5
