Stiff Little Fingers - Welcome To The Whole Week lyrics

And now and then when I'm in the mood I might get up at the crack of noon Then take a wander down to the arcade Might as well clock up a high score And hang around with my mates before I wander back to find my dole's been paid Stay outdoors, play football Or simply play the fool. If it rains go back in You can always watch Play School Don't try to tell me that it ain't a lot I'm gonna make the best of what I've got So I've got no job ..... welcome to the whole week I've always got my LP's to play Or find a friend to get a loan and tape And any time it's time to eat again Before you know, it's any night and so You meet the gang and go along the road Take any chance to have a drink or ten Share the crack. Blokes with cash Get a hit of something else Out all night. Shoot and fight It makes you feel that you're yourself Some of you have got it in for me I don't need that or your sympathy So I've got no job ..... Welcome to the whole week If you don't mind, I have decided to live my life Well, it's always something to do My girl comes round and all we do is talk For hours on end, or we don't talk at all While we do more ... or less ... as we please You keep on that it's wrong We haven't earned lives of ease But there's no work to do And I won't queue up on my knees I never said that this was my ideal But still I'm gonna feel and make it real So I've got no job ...... Welcome to the whole week I never promised you I'd go away You can't ignore me cos I'm here to stay So it's too bad .... Let me at the whole week
