It’s Monday number 783
Since you took your love away from me
I’m channeling Sinead singing Prince
It’s been 18 years plus change and cents
What was it made you think of me today?
I can almost hear your voice say
A touch more gravitas since last I heard it
Wisdom cured and experience matured it
It was the bluetooth mix, it kicked out our old jam
While I was hustling in my kitchen this am
Just brewing the coffee and scrambling the eggs
Trying to get the red blood moving through my arms and legs
Then I heard that snare fill and the phrase on the keys
As the band drops in like a summer breeze
perfect soundtrack for Saturday fun
scrap your plans, spend the day in the sun
It’s a Saturday in a song about Monday
It’s a little chance to drift away
But today it’s Monday number 783
I’m spinning out backwards through my history
That breezy groove that put your face in my mind
Took me straight back to another time
Back then it was a different world we were sharing
Time it was, a time of… red herrings
There they were at school, at the mall and all the shows
Out on every street wearing every kind of clothes
We had red herring for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Diet of champions, sustenance for winners
Winners back in that other world I mean
Before it passed us by, was all just a dream?
It was a time of misdirection that’s the case I am making
That’s the new direction that this monologue is taking
We thought that selling out spoiled the cake that you were baking
But it turns out we just wanted it sweet
