Monday: Late again,today,he'd be in trouble though
He'd say he was sorry, he'd have to hurry out to the bus.

Tuesday: Horace was so sad,he'd never had a girl that he
could care for, and if he was late once more,he'd be out.

Don't be afraid,just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said--
Horace Wimp,this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife.
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan.

Wednesday: Horace met a girl,she was small and she
was very pretty, he thought he was in love,he was afraid.

Thursday: Asks her for a date,the cafe down the street
tomorrow evening,his head was reeling,
when she said. Yes O.K.

Don't be afraid,just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said--
Horace Wimp, this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife.
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan.

Friday: Horace,this is it,he asks the girl if maybe they
could marry,when she says, Gladly-- Horace cries.

Sunday: Everybody's at the church,when Horace
rushes in and says, Now here come my wife,
for the rest of my life--and she did.

Don't be afraid,just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said--
Horace Wimp,this is your wife,
Go out and find yourself a life.
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan.

    Jeff Lynne once commented that the reason there is no "Saturday" line in this song is that, on Saturday, everyone goes to the football (soccer) game.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
