(joe jackson)
Here we go, monday morning at last
In the land of the brave and the bold
Sunlight is hurting my eyes
But its on to the glittering prize
Theres a rent to pay
Gimme a coffee to go, make it fast
Therell be a merger before it gets cold
Theyve closed down the whole seventh floor
The young guns are ready for war
But Im holding on
Long ago and far away
I was safe and sound
But love got lost
Along the way
Saturday night, went to see la bohme *
Used the spare ticket just for my coat
I guess I should swallow my pride
But Id be damned if Id hawk it outside
In the pouring rain

R. 19 october 2000
Monday morning and no-one to blame
Keep hitting icebergs but Im still afloat
But Id like a new body and face
But Id settle for a friend with a space
On their calendar
Hard to know and hard to say
Wonder what Ive found
But love got lost
Along the way
Here comes mr. worldly and wise
If he touches me again Ill scream
I cant stand his sensitive eyes
Like Im some dying diva to him
Touch me ... dont touch me ...
Touch me ... dont touch me ... dont touch me ...
Long ago and far away
I was safe and sound
But love got lost
Along the way
