I Hope Your Sunday Isn't Mondayish 03:16

I Hope Your Sunday Isn't Mondayish Sunny days and Sundays always cheer you up I check the clock, it's 6am, it's nice to hear you up I hope your Sunday isn't Mondayish I hope your Sunday isn't Mondayish What a difference a day makes Now you don't have to raise the stakes One where everyone gives and no one takes I hope your Sunday isn't Mondayish I hope your Sunday isn't Mondayish Don't put on your nice skirt Sweat pants and an old t-shirt And your hair in a ponytail can't hurt Please be meeting all your closest friends for brunch Instead of being with your co-workers for lunch Yes, tomorrow's just a day away Work related thoughts must stay away Don't you think about the numbers you must crunch I hope your Sunday isn't Mondayish I hope your Sunday isn't Mondayish If a genie grants a one-day wish It's that your Sunday isn't Mondayish Thanks to the H-less Beauty

Out Of Practice 03:20
lyrics

Out Of Practice I'm a little out of practice, I'm a little out of touch I'm a little out of practice, but I hope you don't notice too much I hope it's like riding a bike But I never did that too well And it's something that i really did like I'm wondering, can you tell? Let's start with you leading the way And I'll try to impersonate I won't be good at reading the play How long can a person wait? I'm a little out of practice, I'm a little off the plot I'm a little out of practice, are you willing to give me a shot? I never was so good I could teach And I'm back to a student now Maybe you're too far out of reach I'll bow out before it's time to bow Before you start to think you should outsource I will sign up for a refresher course Practicing I will perfect But I fear what you expect, and will it connect? I'm a little out of practice, I'm a little on the spot I'm a little out of practice, so will you be patient or not? I'm a little out of practice

Never Won 02:54

Never Won Both The Kinks and Sparks have had a great career And never had the Album Of The Year Cassavetes' films everyone should see They were ignored by the Academy In West Side Story's run The Tony wasn't won I can relate, I never won your heart Albert Finney's been nominated for Many Oscars he could not procure The Honeymooners show The Emmys just said, "No" I can relate, I never won your heart The Grammys snubbed Al Green And never honored Queen I can relate, I never won your heart Quite a collection of losers, Quite a collection of losers So it's pretty good company I keep I guess we all cannot be Meryl Streep William Trevor had 5 tries Still no Booker Prize I can relate, I never won your heart I can relate, I never won your heart And though I tried, I never won your heart

That's Not How It Works 02:45
lyrics

That's Not How It Works That's not how it works, following the game plan Put in all the time, yet you're still the same man It looked so good on paper, now it's torn and frayed With all the "can't fail" ideas worthlessly displayed That's not how it works, bought the methods they'd sell Followed to a T, but still got the big L When I was in the running, I wasn't in the race Once I took that first step, all I did was chase Observing all the instructions Just led to my own destruction now Will I remain so resilient Without an ounce of fulfillment now Don't know how That's not how it works, so many others knew this All that I have learned, is that i'm still clueless That's not how it works

Easy To Explain It's so easy to explain Why he fell so hard and suffered the pain All her favorite Faces songs were the ones that were sung by Ronnie Lane She claimed she'd rather be in Montreal than Paris, France Her name was Nancy, but you couldn't call her Nance She never "hit the gym" and didn't want a membership She's not a summer fan, she finds December hip It's so easy to explain She loved that movie on Arthur Kane She said she much prefers the verses to the choruses Her passion was collecting old thesauruses And she had one more trait that did him in She bore a strong resemblance to a young Joan Didion It's so easy to explain There was no way she would feel the same It's so easy to explain It's so easy to explain all the pain It's so easy to explain It's so easy to explain all the pain
