Day Off Lyrics
I see the morning sun from my window
Not a cloud for a mile or two
Wearing out my slippers when I walk
But that's what I'm supposed to do
What is the purpose, what am I doing here
When I ought to be at work
I'm going round and round in circles all day
Because I'm thinking about where it hurts
Look ahead
Is this what I want to do for the rest of my life?
Well that's not right
Look ahead
Does it mean that I'm afraid to give it a try?
Yeah just a try
I'm taking a sick leave I got to make the call
Just let him know that this is too hard
I can't figure out what I'm gonna say
Because telling my lies will end up bad anyway
A little scared as I dial the phone
Saying that the fever has got to my bone
I'm sweating like a pig when you return my call
Now get well soon and take the day off
Look ahead
Is this what I want to do for the rest of my life?
Well that's not right
Look ahead
Does it mean that I'm afraid to give it a try?
Yeah just a try
(Day off, day off, day off, day off)
Keeping a straight face trying to seem real
Enjoying myself, well here's the deal
I'm never ever going back there again
No no, mm-mm, no way at all
I'm never ever going back there again
I got to be honest with myself
Yeah I got to be honest with myself
Look ahead
Is this what I want to do for the rest of my life?
Well that's not right
Look ahead
Does it mean that I'm afraid to give it a try?
Yeah just a try
Look ahead
Is this what I want to do for the rest of my life?
That's not right
Look ahead
Does it mean that I'm afraid to give it a try?
Yeah just a try
Not a cloud for a mile or two

But that's what I'm supposed to do
What is the purpose, what am I doing here
When I ought to be at work
I'm going round and round in circles all day
Because I'm thinking about where it hurts

Noone has commented any Kurt Nilsen songs? :O What a shame.
Anyway, this song is really good. I think it´s from the period where he had to decide if he were going to go for music or his "ordinary" job, being an electrician... He don´t really like his job so he´s staying at home way too much with bad excuses, while trying to decide wether he´s going to quit or not.
Well, that´s just my opinion, anyway =)
