I called in late to work, for another day that I hate,
sick of coffee stained shirts, and never getting paid.
Morden, it always rains, It's like the sky was painted grey,
Had enough of winter days, I say we move away.
What a day I've had this week I've been working since monday,
and all the nights I stay here downing drink, man they must count for something.
I've seen this pub before, my familiar friend ennui,
another year but who's keeping score, as we recycle old memories
And I love to be here, don't we all love to be here, in the same old town always talking about how, we might make it someday.
Oh I've been looking around and all I see is ways to stick my head in the ground and let life pass me by.
