Billy Bragg

On Monday I wished it was Tuesday night
So I could wish for the weekend to come
On Tuesday I wished that the night would pass
So I could call you on the phone
Now a man can spend a lot of time
Wondering what was on Jack Rubys mind
And time is all I have without you here
On Wednesday when you hung up
It was as much as I could do
To stop from wishing Thursday
Would pass so quickly too
Theyre out there making history
In the Lenin Shipyards today
And here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel
Wishing the days away
Theres always room for one more soul
Down in the Human Zoo
I dont want you to come here though
I want to come home to you
Somebodys knocking at the door
Its later than I think
And its time to put on these clothes
And get out there and stink
On Friday I wished there was something more
To be seen in the letters you send
On Saturday I wished it was Sunday
Oh will this torment ever end?
Sometimes I get a notion to put a torch
To the tools of my trade
Here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel
Wishing the days away
