How does it feel?
I don't like......
Blue Monday
Inevitably…
Guess I'll need to be quicker off the blocks!
But then it is Monday morning.
Oh, I don't know
Looks like a draw. I'll edit mine.
Aw, shucks…
You're a regular toff, sir!
OK, here's my last contribution for the day. It's Wilco's Monday
Another jolly tune for you
The Fab Four
Karen, Richard, Paul Williams & Joe Osborn. they are “da bomb”. If this is cheese, I’m a mouse.
Don't you think there's something "ironic"...
....about pop songs written about Mondays?
They are mostly written by the one section of the population - rock musicians - for whom the concept of Monday has no meaning. If you're say, Sting or Jack White, how is Monday any different from any other day?
You're woken around eleven by your valet proffering herbal tea and a freshly ironed copy of the Wall Street Journal. You have a session with your personal trainer followed by a long soak. You put on some brand new clothes. You take a couple of meetings at which you reprimand various business associates for their shortcomings and demand that somebody move the sun around so that it's not in your eyes, then go and play a few songs for which you're richly rewarded, then go to dinner. Bed around three on Tuesday morning.
Is this how your Monday's shaping up?
I may well end up falling into bed around three
Tuesday morning if I go for "just a quick one" after work but there the similarities end.
Then again
When Fats Domino sings about slaving on the bandstand for his wages, I believe him.
Mark Knopfler was
at least honest about it.
No, it's not ...
I'm off to the dentist, and yet again I didn't wake up next to Stevie Nicks (1975 model). For a Monday morning song this is quite cheery, I think we know why ....
Louis Elliot
Probably never had a job but clearly does have a girlfriend who is chained to the daily grind.
In honour of the Cornbury girls...
Bugger! Check the original post before posting your own!
Ok - try an acoustic version...
Phew
Susanna Hoffs has aged very well.
I will never be embarrased about
loving The Jam. A slightly different take on Monday; looking forward to it, on account of some work/school romance. Teenage boys can tend to be snotty and angry; at the same time they tend to be insecure saps. No wonder they loved The Jam. Weller covered all bases. “I will never be embarrased about love again”. What a line.
If this is Monday......
....no wonder Tuesdays dead
(Arf arf, the South will rise again,y'all)
Tuesday dead?!?
Surely everything is Tuesday.
Seven Nights To Rock
Job done....
Rachel Unthank and the Winterset do...
...a great version of this on Cruel Sister -
On a Monday Morning
(Cyril Tawny)
Too soon to be out of me bed,
Too soon to be back to this bus queue caper,
Fumbling for change for me picture paper,
On a Monday morning.
Oh, where has the weekend gone?
Oh, where are the wine and the beer I tasted?
Gone the same way as the pay I wasted,
On a Monday morning.
If only the birds were booze,
If only the sun was a party giver,
If I could just give someone else me liver,
On a Monday morning.
My lover she lies asleep,
My lover is warm, and her heart is mellow,
I'd give the whole world just to share her pillow,
On a Monday morning.
One of my favourite Jam
One of my favourite Jam songs that, Richard. Love the little situation implied in the lyric, the young lad who's gutted it's Friday night because he won't see the girl he's infatuated with at school/work for a few days.
