Lyrics Wishing the Days Away (Alternative Version) - Billy Bragg
On
Monday
I
wished
it
was
Tuesday
night
So
I
could
wish
for
the
weekend
to
come
Tuesday
I
wished
that
the
night
would
pass
So
I
could
call
you
on
the
phone
Now
a
man
can
spend
a
lot
of
time
Wondering
what
was
on
Jack
Ruby's
mind
Time
is
all
I
have
without
you
here
Wednesday
when
you
hung
up
It
was
as
much
as
I
could
do
To
stop
from
wishing
Thursday
Would
pass
so
quickly
too
They're
out
there
making
history
In
the
Lenin
Shipyards
today
And
here
I
am
in
the
Hammersmith
Hotel
Wishing
the
days
away
Wasn't
it
a
shock
to
find
the
king
was
human
too
Still
I
think
he
understands
much
more
of
me
than
you
do
It
seems
a
proper
shame
to
steal
his
clothes
but
not
his
crown
Here
I
am
in
the
Hammersmith
hotel
singing
the
government
down
Friday
I
wished
there
was
something
more
To
be
seen
in
the
letters
you
send
On
Saturday
I
wished
it
was
Sunday
Oh
will
this
torment
ever
end
Sometimes
I
take
a
notion
to
put
a
torch
to
the
tools
of
my
trade
Here
I
am
in
the
Hammersmith
Hotel
Wishing
the
days
away
Here
I
am
in
the
Hammersmith
Hotel
Wishing
the
days
away
