Stealers Wheel - Monday Morning lyrics

rate me

(Rafferty/Egan)

Well, I was working for the taxman,

Digging out the facts at the Inland Revenue.

I was slowly going nowhere, thinking it was somewhere,

There was nothing I could do.

I got wasted every day of the week,

And come Sunday, well, I just couldn't speak.

Monday morning always comes around too soon,

Monday morning always comes around too soon,

Monday morning always comes around too soon.

Well, I was getting more frustrated

At the longer I waited, I thought I was led astray,

And the only thing I knew was the sound of rock 'n' roll

Kept taking me away.

I got wasted every day of the week,

And come Sunday, well, I just couldn't speak.

Monday morning always comes around too soon,

Monday morning always comes around too soon,

Monday morning always comes around too soon.
