Bank Holiday Monday Lyrics - Singles - Stephen Duffy & The Lilac Time

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
