Friday Street

from Moquettes by The Pattern Store

lyrics

The April sun is in my head
As on these paving slabs I tread
On Friday Street
My cappucino's hot today
The morning's bound to go my way
On Friday Street
From the station's mouth, commuters stream
I ride the surf and greet the team
'Cos eight hours more, and this road's sure to
Speed me into Saturday...

The leaves are jingling in the trees
And starlings pipe up harmonies
On Friday Street
The passers-by conceal they're keen
For a flash-mob song-and-dance routine
On Friday Street
My colleagues ask if someone's humming
But I recall the weekend's coming
One more meeting - 2pm! - and
Work can hang for two whole days...

The trains that end the weekly churn
Wish they could take an unplanned turn
Down Friday Street
Step from the squeeze, I'm exit-bound
And feel the weekend-buzz around
On Friday Street
A quick stop at the noodle-bar
Before I reach my door at last
I heard someone tell me
"Staying-in's the new going-out..."

60s-tinged English-ish guitar pop, with anachronistic elements and a pinch of whimsy. Think Beatles, Kinks, Bonzo Dog Band, Kevin Ayers, Cleaners From Venus, etc.
