Ironing Tuesdays Lyrics - Failure - Posies

"Don't break your back for me," she said 

Without hesitation 

All these things we don't need and 

Two saved up vacations 

Well, don't you recall mornings spent 

Half naked in a fray? 

Fighting over money, wishing we could run away 

(From) 

Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays 

Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays 

Once we had just one room to share 

But now we have many 

But I'll work just as hard as if we didn't have any 

Well, I'd relive the blunders and 

Mistakes that I've made 

And sacrifice the precious, useless 

Money that I've saved 

(For) 

Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays 

Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays 

I could have given up hope 

(And) 

We could have split up 

(But) 

Boxes of laundry soap 

(And) 

Babies that spit up kept us together 

All of these luxuries we have 

They're just ornamental 

And whether we have them or not 

We can still afford to be sentimental 

'Bout times that try us, times that make us 

Work just to survive 

Ties that bind us, and remind us 

That we're still alive 

Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays 

Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
