Tired From The Week

I.

So La Choza it is open and a table is reserved

It’s Matthew’s 30th birthday, it’s the least that he deserved

I’d love to come but I’m afraid I’m feeling past my peak

I’ll have to give this one a miss, I’m tired from the week.

II.

Lou and Sue are getting married, they’re gonna tie the knot

The ceremony won’t be one to ever be forgot

It’s going to be quite hectic and right now I’m feeling meek

That’s just another symptom of being tired from the week.

III.

An election is upon us and it’s time to cast our vote 

We cannot let those people take our country by the throat

But if the loons get in then I’ll just turn the other cheek

I’m a busy guy what with being tired from the week.

IV.

I hear Red Diamond Dragon Club are playing another gig

Main support for Talking Heads, it’s gonna be quite big

But I want to be the early bird with worm within its beak

I must confess, I’ve got to rest, I’m tired from the week.

V.

Aurora Borealis is lighting up the Sussex sky!

Never before seen down here by any naked eye!

Oh no good Sir! I won’t be staying up to take a peek

I’ve got to get an early night, I’m tired from the week.

VI.

Jesus has been sighted, reports say that he’s in town

Sounds as though the Second Coming’s finally come around

Tomorrow I will roll away my own stone, so to speak

Must I tell you thrice that I am tired from the week?

VII.

Now aliens have landed and they’re calling us all out

And everyone is going to see what the fuss is all about

I’d prefer it if they tried to maintain their mystique

I have no real interest, I’m tired from the week.

VIII.

I’m going to throw a party and invite all my friends

It’s been a while, I really want to see them all again

Waiting for them to respond, the outlook’s looking bleak

Looks like they might all be feeling tired from the week.

IX.

Friends I’ve known since growing up, friends that I’ve just met

Friends from school, friends from work, friends I won’t forget

Friends of every creed and colour, belief and physique

I find it hard to believe they’re all tired from the week

X.

The birthday boy, the laughing loves, the future of the land

Light fantastic, David Byrne, a good-times party band 

Heaven-scented messengers and the truth that some still seek

What have they all been doing to make them tired from the week?
