Lyrics

Sunday Morning

Sunday morning silence, curtain stay closed late

No one thinks of kitchens mornings in a filthy state

Dishes cups and beer stains, ashtrays on the floor

Sunday morning papers are left outside the front door

Sunday school and Sunday roast

Sunday papers Sunday post

Sunday morning Sunday rest

Sunday sermon Sunday best

(Sunday, bloody sunday rest)

Glass of fizzy water helps to start the day

Sit and listen to Sunday silence, problems fade away

Sunday cars and drivers break the morning air

Uncollected milk outside reveals there's no one there

Sunday school and Sunday roast

Sunday papers Sunday post

Sunday morning Sunday rest

Sunday sermon Sunday best

Sunday school and Sunday roast

Sunday papers Sunday post

Sunday morning Sunday rest

Sunday sermon Sunday best

Bathrobes hang in waiting, windows steaming up

Somewhere in the sink downstairs lies an unwashed cup

Tea and toast for breakfast clear away the plates

Wash-up prepare for cooking Sunday lunch awaits

Sunday lunch awaits

Sunday lunch awaits
