Payday

My breast is heaving, my feet are light

I carry my whole life on my back tonight

This is the life I choose, I don't do any harm

I'm just looking forward

to my sweetheart's cuddles and charms

On payday, I'm gonna dance all night

These people are meeting up

between the trees beneath the moonlight

They'll be trying to keep us apart,

even after all the miles we've come

But there's too many lonely hearts,

Gonna make sure mine isn't one, on payday

I wasn't stupid the day that I was born

Whatever happened to me,

what were my schooldays for

I did what I was told,

then I've always been a slow learner

Unlike an idiot toeing the line,

looking out for a better earner

I walk these lanes

in the fading light

I feel no fear,

I feel no fright

Heart you'll go your way,

whatever you decide

I guarantee today

that the head will sympathise

And dance all night

These people are meeting up

between the trees beneath the moonlight

They'll be trying to keep us apart,

even after all the miles we've come

But there's too many lonely hearts,

Gonna make sure mine isn't one, on payday
