| Sixteen straight shifts, bust a gut for bugger-all
|
| 'Til the gaffer hits the bell and spits me outta hell
|
| Firin' curses at me bouncin' out the door
|
| Smoke 'em up, slam the pedal to the floor
|
| Or the monkey on me back’ll chip away until I crack
|
| And I forget what all me words are really for
|
| The lollipop girls with their t’ick Irish brogue
|
| Are tellin' me to take it slow
|
| Oh, they should better know
|
| Oh me old friend weekend, first one for weeks
|
| I’ve a fresh ream o' dollars in me flash new breeks
|
| I’ll find a good woman and some self respect
|
| And I’ll be fucked if I don’t lose 'em all by Monday
|
| All the good folk are safe indoors
|
| With their chicken and their wine
|
| God bless em all the swine
|
| All born under gentler stars
|
| I’ve a date with a dozen dirty jars
|
| Like a tomcat on the tiles
|
| I’ll go rovin' out for miles
|
| To where they punish all them second hand guitars
|
| Where them old sniffer dogs
|
| And the neckless feckin' trogs
|
| And them honeyskins will never think to roam
|
| Oh, you’ll find me at home
|
| With me old friend weekend, first one for weeks
|
| I’ve a fresh ream o' dollars in me flash new breeks
|
| I’ll find a good woman and some self respect
|
| And I’ll be fucked if I don’t lose 'em all by Monday
|
| As Sunday bloody Sunday comes and goes
|
| With a jagged dusty start
|
| And a stutter in me heart
|
| Still enshrouded in me Saturday clothes
|
| When it’s back into the bevvy’s I suppose
|
| Before the Monday blues
|
| Catch me dyin' in me shoes
|
| Still dreaming of that kiss from a rose
|
| And a voice in me heart
|
| And the sickness in me gut
|
| Are all tellin me to take it slow
|
| Oh, like they’ll ever know
|
| Oh me old friend weekend, first one for weeks
|
| I’ve a fresh ream o' dollars in me flash new breeks
|
| I’ll find a good woman and some self respect
|
| And I’ll be fucked if I don’t lose 'em all by Monday
|
| Oh me old friend weekend, first one for weeks
|
| I’ve a fresh ream o' dollars in me flash new breeks
|
| I’ll find a good woman and some self respect
|
| And I’ll be fucked if I don’t lose 'em all by Monday
|
| I’ll find a good woman and some self respect
|
| And I’ll be fucked if I don’t lose 'em all by
|
| If I don’t lose 'em all by
|
| If I don’t lose 'em all by Monday |
