Stephen Duffy & The Lilac Time Bank Holiday Monday lyrics

Bank holiday Monday
You don't have a lot to say
You're waiting for payday
You can't wait to get away

This boring town gets you down
There's no one to come around
Why wait in for someone
Who is not as good as you?

Railway station
Train on the eastbound track
Girls without make up
Keeping me coming back

When you're old you can't be told
That anywhere is paved with gold
Why wait in for something
That's not as good as you?


You must take heart
You're heading for the sky
You don't have to ask why
Wystan Hugh Auden

John Winston, Ono Lennon
Left middle England
Where they suffocate everything

They got away and so could you
What else is there to do?
Why wait in for something
That's not as good as you?

May day, bank holiday Monday, 2002
