This is from early 1999...one of my favorite of my own songs...probably recorded this sixty times, always unsatisfactorily, even in a major, professional studio in NYC...
Eight O'Clock on Monday
Once again it's
Eight O'clock on Monday
And I'm alone with
The remote
But I know all the reasons why
Once again I'm slipping to the side
But if I were cast in
Wax and Vinyl
Circular grooved and
Moved in spirals
I'd send the needle
The needle spinning
to the beginning of the first song
Lying on one side I'd
Cycle endlessly
I'd cycle endlessly
I'd cycle endlessly
I'm waiting
Frustrating
I've waited
Frustrated
Ditched alone and
Staring at the ceiling
Numb to feeling
The show slips by
But I know all the reasons why
Once again I'm being pushed aside
I'm waiting
Frustrating
I've waited
Frustrated
And once again it's
Eight O'clock on Monday
And I'm alone with
The remote
But I know all the reasons why
But I know all the reasons why
But I know all the reasons why...
...I'm waiting
Frustrating
I've waited
Frustrated
Frustrated.

Frustrated
Frustrated.
