Wishing The Days Away
Billy Bragg
On monday i wished it was tuesday night So i could wish for the weekend to come On tuesday i wished that the night would pass So i could call you on the phone Now a man can spend a lot of time Wondering what was on jack ruby's mind And time is all i have without you here On wednesday when you hung up It was as much as i could do To stop from wishing thursday Would pass so quickly too They're out there making history In the lenin shipyards today And here i am in the hammersmith hotel Wishing the days away There's always room for one more soul Down in the human zoo I don't want you to come here though I want to come home to you Somebody's knocking at the door Its later than i think And its time to put on these stinking clothes And get out there and stink On friday i wished there was something more To be seen in the letters you send On saturday i wished it was sunday Oh will this torment ever end Sometimes i get a notion to put a torch To the tools of my trade Here i am in the hammersmith hotel Wishing the days away1986 eighties I Am john porter production ken jones production political present participle songs of day and night
