Monday's Arms - Harrisons

Looking for a way out

Of the days of dissolution

As the tension mounts

The diamonds in the fire

Touch it your gonna get burnt

As they patronise

Look in their eyes

They secretly yearn to say

Oh oh leave us alone

I shouldn’t have to tell you down the microphone

The tide of your life

You know it starts to change

And when you try to do something different

You are met with malign

And it fills you with a feeling

That then leads to self doubt

As you sit drunk at the bar

And from the corner of your mouth you say

Oh oh leave us alone

I shouldn’t have to tell you down the microphone

How can you dance when you’re on your own?

But when you’re caught in the cradle of Monday’s arms

Your pissed up drunken madness

Didn’t warm to their charms

And you sit a little stiff

And you search for a line

To try again but don’t say when

And until that time we say

Oh oh leave us alone

I shouldn’t have to tell you down the microphone

How can you dance when you’re on your own?
