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
