Wages Day Lyrics - I Was Right And You Were Wrong - Deacon Blue

There we stood and there we left 

Outside the flashing neon sign 

With the smell of cheap cigars 

And the hope of sweet perfume 

And his heart it was reeling 

With the thrill of it all 

All to do and only hours 

He said all this is all yours 

You can have it all 

You can take it all away 

From where we left off 

Living it all your way 

If you'll stand in my shoes 

If you'll do what I do 

On wages day 

On wages day 

And the cap from Disneyland 

That his cousin she brought back 

Stays open in his hand 

From one week to another 

And this long narrow land 

Is full of possibility 

All to do and only hours 

He said all this is all yours 

You can have it all 

You can take it all away 

From where we left off 

Living it all your way 

If you'll stand in my shoes 

If you'll do what I do 

On wages day 

On wages day
