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?
