Cover art for Seven Days Too Long lyrics by Dexys Midnight Runners

I've got a bit of a fetish about cover versions that are better than the original versions. There are many.

Sadly, despite being superior to some of the songs that do, this one doesn't make the list. How can it? It's still a belter though and i absolutely love their interpretation of this nearly as much as the original.

You can tell Rowland didn't write the lyrics because they are fairly straightforward and easy to hear when listening to the song.

I don't think they need any interpretation. I just wanted to give a thumbs up to this tune.
