Recov'ry Monday

OK. What started out as a tongue-in-cheek joke via Twitter to the band Antigone Rising has now evolved as a result of their reply to me.

Not being one to ever leave good enough alone, I decided to modify the lyrics to the song 'Manic Monday' by The Bangles and offer it up to the wonderful women of Antigone Rising as a possible cover for them to perform on The Rock Boat.

Who knows where this will lead: Acclaim, adulation, Grammy nomination? Or maybe just cold shoulders and my wife filing for divorce on the grounds she had no idea I was this level of dork. Either way, enjoy.

Eight o'clock morning time
I haven't even packed all my bags
Now I've got to stand in line
This day's gonna be such a drag
But I can't be late
'Cause they're making me get off of this ship
This is the day
I wish I could just re-live this trip

It's just another recov'ry Monday
I don't remember Sunday
That was my rum day
I guess I'll learn some day
It's just another recov'ry Monday

Have to catch an early plane
Gotta' make sure I get home
Traveling is such a pain
When your head just feels like a stone
And this line to deboard
Is the longest thing I've ever seen
Standing with my suitcase
As we all listen to Andy Levine

It's just another recov'ry Monday
I don't remember Sunday
That was my rum day
I guess I'll learn some day
It's just another recov'ry Monday

All of the cruises
Why do I always have to pick the last night
To get torn
All the while knowing
That I have to get going
When it's the morn
So I tell you through my scratchy throat
Yeah baby, I love The Rock Boat
Time is goes so fast
When you're with Sixthman

It's just another recov'ry Monday
I wish it was Thursday
So we can all sail away
And have some more time to play
It's just another recov'ry Monday
