Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon

Queen

I go out to work on Monday morning
Tuesday, I go off to honeymoon
I'll be back again before it's time for sunny-down
I'll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon

Bicycling on every Wednesday evening
Thursday, I go waltzing to the zoo

I come from London Town, I'm just an ordinary guy
Fridays, I go painting in the Louvre

I'm bound to be proposing on a Saturday night (there he goes again)
I'll be lazing on a Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon

    Piss take? I'm not sure what you mean by that, but the quality of the song is clearly intentional so it matches the sound of soungs from that era. Queen = Genius!

    I can see Freddy riding on those old style bikes (with a huge wheel on front and a ridiculous small one behind), wearing a curled moustache and a round hat, saluting the girls in corsetted victorian dresses, and the kids with sailor suits playing on the pond, throwing rocks to some ducks... Lazing on a Sunday afternoon (ring ring)

    It's pretty obvious..short, harmonious, terrific. It's just about a good Sunday afternoon for Freddy.

    Freddie is the writer and singer on this song rich20b. A short and fun song as only Mercury could do it. As a matter of fact I am lazing on a Sunday afternoon right now.

    I love the implication that an ordinary guy spends his Fridays "painting in the Louvre."

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
