On monday i wished it was tuesday night

So i could wish for the weekend to come

On tuesday i wished that the night would pass

So i could call you on the phone

Now a man can spend a lot of time

Wondering what was on jack ruby's mind

And time is all i have without you here



On wednesday when you hung up

It was as much as i could do

To stop from wishing thursday

Would pass so quickly too

They're out there making history

In the lenin shipyards today

And here i am in the hammersmith hotel

Wishing the days away



There's always room for one more soul

Down in the human zoo

I don't want you to come here though

I want to come home to you

Somebody's knocking at the door

Its later than i think

And its time to put on these stinking clothes

And get out there and stink



On friday i wished there was something more

To be seen in the letters you send

On saturday i wished it was sunday

Oh will this torment ever end

Sometimes i get a notion to put a torch

To the tools of my trade

Here i am in the hammersmith hotel

Wishing the days away
