I think "Tuesday's dead" is about how so many people think that grace is gone from this world, but yet this song of humbleness from Cat Stevens(Yusuf Islam) who by his own public persona has always been a very spiritual person. My guess is that Cat Stevens wrote this song after reading the lyrics of the traditional song "Monday's Child" where it reads:
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.
