Monday Morning
Navigating the Maze of Monday Blues: Stealers Wheel's Tale
Lyrics
Well, I was working for the tax man
The speaker was employed by the tax authorities.
Digging out the facts at the Inland Revenue
They were involved in uncovering information for tax purposes at the Inland Revenue.
I was slowly going nowhere, thinking it was somewhere
The speaker felt like they were making no progress despite thinking they were.
There was nothing I could do
They were stuck and felt powerless to change their situation.
I got wasted every day of the week
The speaker indulged in excessive drinking every day of the week.
And come Sunday, well, I just couldn't speak
By Sunday, their ability to communicate was severely impaired due to the effects of drinking.
Monday morning always comes around too soon
Expresses the repetition of feeling unprepared or unready for Monday morning.
Monday morning always comes around too soon
-Monday morning always comes around too soon
-Well, I was getting more frustrated
The speaker became increasingly frustrated.
At the longer I waited, I thought I was led astray
They felt misled as time passed without progress.
And the only thing I knew was the sound of rock 'n' roll
Music, specifically rock 'n' roll, provided solace or escape from their situation.
Kept taking me away
The music was a means of mental escape for the speaker.
I got wasted every day of the week
Reiteration of indulging in excessive drinking throughout the week.
And come Sunday, well, I just couldn't speak
By Sunday, their ability to communicate was significantly impaired due to drinking.
Monday morning always comes around too soon
Reiteration of the feeling of Monday morning arriving too quickly, a symbol of unpreparedness or reluctance for the workweek.
Monday morning always comes around too soon
-Monday morning always comes around too soon
