Slow Monday
Lament of a Clock-Watcher: Battling Mundanity on Slow Mondays
Lyrics
And a good woman, but she's stubborn as hell
Expressing admiration for a stubborn but good woman.
Decent job, pour me some beers after the bills
Having a decent job and enjoying some beers after paying bills.
But I hate these slow Monday afternoons
Expressing dislike for slow Monday afternoons.
Work five days a week
Working five days a week.
Maybe two Sundays a month
Having only two Sundays off in a month.
And I make enough to give my baby all she wants
Earning enough to fulfill his baby's desires.
And ya I guess I make a good wage
Acknowledging a good wage.
And I guess I shouldn't complain
Realizing he shouldn't complain despite grievances.
But I hate these slow Monday afternoons
Reiterating the dislike for slow Monday afternoons.
Ah well there's so much I wanna do
Expressing a desire to do more in life.
But I work all week
Working throughout the week.
So when I get free
Anticipating free time after working.
I stay out late and I act a fool
Choosing to stay out late and act carefree.
All the other days just slip by
Not noticing other days as they pass by.
I don't notice them at all
Emphasizing the lack of awareness of other days.
Ah but any given Monday
Highlighting the significance of slow Mondays.
Any time afternoon day
Indicating any time during the afternoon on a Monday.
You'll likely find me staring at the clock up on the wall
Frequently staring at the clock on the wall on Mondays.
So I'm on the last legs of a losing season
Describing being in a difficult phase of life.
I'm setting myself out 'cause I need no more reason
Choosing to be alone with no need for more reasons.
To hate these slow Monday afternoons
Reiterating the dislike for slow Monday afternoons.
