Monday Mornin' Blues
By spiderbaby49
25 April 2005
Listening to Otis Taylor, low down dirty blues, mood is low and ...I don't know.......gonna slip on my writin' shoes......

Looking out on a drizzly morning, feeling like the drizzle has got into my brain. Gonna jump into a Radox bath, see if I can energise myself again.
Second cup of tea and a cigarette, Gotta tear me away from the damn machine. Go outside and embrace the blameless day, see some friends and be seen.
Man......I got it so bad, I got the Monday morning blues.
First I have to clean the kitchen, where the dog peed on the floor. Discovered it first thing this morning, booted him right out the kitchen door.
I am listening to Otis Taylor, loud on the speaker of my pc. 'Live your life before you die'
Trying to follow his advice, hoping it's not all a great big lie.
Man......I got it so bad, I got the Monday morning blues.
Something missing from around me, something missing all the while. This 'autumn life is glass half empty.Hollow shell and yellow smile.
Invisibilty's a cloak I pull around me. It comforts me, keeps out the fools.
I lost the race and I'm confounded. Tell me when they changed the rules.
Man......I got it so bad, I got the Monday morning blues.
