I'm waiting for the day to do nothing wrong
I spend my time wishing it won't be long
Everything I do just seems a waste
Waiting for the day
And Monday morning comes around too soon
And everyone I look at knows it's true
Shadows of the days off have left their mark
Waiting for the day
The clothes you gave me didn't wash too well
The silver soon shone through
To be offered second best from a first rate friend
For me won't ever do
The voices said to me when are you going to choose?
It's a waste of time waiting with nothing to lose
You've got to think every day is going to be your last
Waiting for the day
I watched you getting old, watched you getting scared
I put my arms out for you when no-one cared
Save my imposition, save my fever and low
Waiting for the day
I don't want to leave you out
I shouldn't have to shout
I spend my time wishing it won't be long
Everything I do just seems a waste
Waiting for the day
And Monday morning comes around too soon
And everyone I look at knows it's true
Shadows of the days off have left their mark
Waiting for the day
The clothes you gave me didn't wash too well
The silver soon shone through
To be offered second best from a first rate friend
For me won't ever do
The voices said to me when are you going to choose?
It's a waste of time waiting with nothing to lose
You've got to think every day is going to be your last
Waiting for the day
I watched you getting old, watched you getting scared
I put my arms out for you when no-one cared
Save my imposition, save my fever and low
Waiting for the day
I don't want to leave you out
I shouldn't have to shout
