Lyrics

Living For The Weekend:

C:
Oh, give me the weekend once again.
A Saturday and Sunday that will take away the pain
Of a long and weary week
Where we're working to the bone.
I'm longing for the weekend
So we just can be alone
Be alone.

Waking from the slumber of a really pleasant dream
Reality comes knocking at my door.
I take a while to realise just what the day will hold
Monday means I need to go to work once more.

C:
Oh, give me the weekend once again.
A Saturday and Sunday that will take away the pain
Of a long and weary week
Where we're working to the bone.
I'm longing for the weekend
So we just can be alone
Be alone.

Yes, and now the weekend's here again.
A time that's set apart from the drudgery of life
And that's my cry
Give me the weekend once again.
I can't believe it's Monday,
We have to face the week again.

Bridge:
Then there's that ticking in my head
Of the clock upon the table that is resting by my bed,
Soon to sound a noise
That we all want to avoid,
An alarm that signals Monday's at the door.
I just don't want to feel this any more.


Lead break:


C:
Why do we work this 9 to 5
All Monday through to Friday
It's no fun to be alive
But I can't seem to erase all of the hope that's in my mind
Of a wonderful weekend
Where we can leave it all behind.
All behind.

But that fateful clock sat by the bed,
Numbers illuminated all in red,
Signals the noise that we're trying to avoid,
A noise that signals Monday's at the door,
Just like it's been every week before.
I don't want to feel this any more!

C:
Oh, give me the weekend once again.
A Saturday and Sunday that will take away the pain
Of a long and weary week
Where we're working to the bone.
I'm longing for the weekend
So we just can be alone
Be alone.

Oh, give me the weekend once again.
A Saturday and Sunday that will take away the pain
Of a long and weary week
Where we're working to the bone.
I'm longing for the weekend
So we just can be alone
Be alone.

I need a weekend.
Give me the weekend.
I live for the weekend.

I need a weekend.
Give me the weekend.
I live for the weekend.


I need a weekend.
Give me the weekend.
I live for the weekend.
Bring on the weekend once again.
