Lyrics Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg

St. Monday

Monday and the afternoon is bearing down on me

I'm watching the clock and the clock is watching me

Don't have to be cool but you know I am

Don't have to be here but you know that

I'm a hard worker but I ain't working on a Monday

I'm a hard worker but I ain't working on a Monday

A hard working fellow but I ain't working on a Monday

St. Monday's still the weekend to me

Two dozen enquiries are on hold for me

My shift supervisor is staring hard at me

Nobody can say what the matter is

I'm trying to recharge my batteries

I'm a hard worker but I ain't working on a Monday

I'm a hard worker but I ain't working on a Monday

A hard working fellow but I ain't working on a Monday

St. Monday's still the weekend to me

Somewhere out on the road, I just wanna be free

I don't wanna do as I'm told

Don't wanna work 4, 5, 6 days and turnaround

Want to get high on life but first I got to get me back home

Nobody can say what the matter is
