Lyrics
Weekend (5 Long Days)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Monday comes crashing in and all the world looks grey again
Faces on the train seem grim, when yesterday the same were smiling
Another week to kill, another week where time stands still
And shuffling masses feel the chill that comes with their routine
The working scene…
Crawl out of bed and then I turn on MTV again
To watch the same songs I can't stand.They sing of love and being happy
Look there's another one that sounds just like the other one
The video without a song is being a famous whore
Frustrates me more…
But at the weekend, well everything will be okay
At the weekend, darling
At the weekend, I'll tell the world that for five long days I've been wanting to say
Wanting to say, yeah, yeah
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna ride upon a five mile tide of surprise and oblivion
Rain or shine I'm waiting at the front line
I need it, I need it, like you would not believe it
And I've been dying to change, I've been dying to change my ways
'Cos I've been dry for five long days
I'll put the world to right, I'll fly like superman in flight
I'll eat the day and drink the night and everyone will be there with me
This week I've seen it through, on autopilot, just like you
And now there's nothing left to do 'cept anything at all
Let's hit the wall…
But at the weekend, well everything will be okay
At the weekend, darling
At the weekend, I'll tell the world that for five long days I've been wanting to say
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna ride upon a five mile tide of surprise and oblivion
Rain or shine I'm waiting at the front line
I need it, I need it, like you would not believe it
And I've been dying to change, I've been dying to change my ways
'Cos I've been dry for five long days
At the weekend, baby, baby at the weekend
At the weekend, at the weekend
At the weekend, baby, baby, at the weekend
At the weekend, rock, rock, rock, roll
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna ride upon a five mile tide of surprise and oblivion
Rain or shine I'm waiting at the front line
I need it, I need it, like you would not believe it
And I've been dying to change, I've been dying to change my ways
'Cos I've been dry for five long
I've been dry for five long days
