Billy Bragg and The Blokes St. Monday

Monday and the afternoon is bearing down on me
I m watching the clock and the clock is watching me
Don t have to be cool but you know I am
Don t have to be here but you know that

I m a hard worker but I ain t working on a Monday
I m a hard worker but I ain t working on a Monday
A hard working fellow but I ain't working on a Monday
St. Monday s still the weekend to me

Two dozen enquiries are on hold for me
My shift supervisor is staring hard at me
Nobody can say what the matter is
I m trying to recharge my batteries

I m a hard worker but I ain t working on a Monday
I m a hard worker but I ain t working on a Monday
A hard working fellow but I ain't working on a Monday
St. Monday s still the weekend to me

Somewhere out on the road, I just wanna be free
I don't wanna do as I m told
Don t wanna work 4, 5, 6 days and turnaround
Want to get high on life but first I got to get me back home

Nobody can say what the matter is
I m trying to recharge my batteries
