Welcome To The Whole Week Lyrics - Now Then - Stiff Little Fingers

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 'cause I'm here to stay 

So it's too bad .... Let me at the whole week
