All songs music & words by P.Slater

lyrics

Don't ask me for a good place to stay
Beneath the basement of the bombed cafe
I hate to leave I love The big clock's chime
Now I'm hanging from the weekday line

The room we shared was so damp and cold
But somehow I felt that it was home
Now it's gone the shivers up my spine
leave me hanging from the weekday line

(plenty of time before the big clocks chime)
(there's plenty of time before the big clocks chime)

I hear your personality done left you for some other body
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
(plenty of time before the big clocks chime)
(there's plenty of time before the big clocks chime)
And you character done crackin' under pressure from this chill
Still

Don't leave me cryin' if it's all in vain
We set the deadline it's getting late
Someday maybe but not tonight
I think I'm hanging from the weekday
I think I'm hanging from the weekday
I think I'm weak at the kneeday line

I said no no no no no

Well I think I'm hanging from the weekday line

(you're too kind)
