lyrics
One of Those Days…
Verse one by Lady Paradox:
It’s one of those days - my limbs are heavy weights,
Under British skies and the weather’s grey,
Watching Breaking Bad as I vegetate,
My phone rings - - - they better wait,
In my settled state: can’t handle conversation,
Watching episode 8 before the songs rotating,
Need to write myself but i’m appreciating,
Still in my PJs & the day is wasting
Producers losing patience - I need to write,
Need to pay bills, clean & fix my mic,
Everything is effort - I should be out tonight,
Housemates back in town for a reunite,
I’m not feeling right - might have to cancel it,
Phone is ringing again but I don’t answer it,
I should get dressed but now it’s half eight,
A lack of motivation that I can’t shake.
Chorus x2 -
It’s one of those days. I can’t get moving.
One of those days... you know? the mood swings
One of those days. I can’t get started
One of those days. My mind’s departed.
Verse two by Gadget:
I plan the hell out of a day… it makes no difference.
Sitting at my desk as I procrastinate for instance.
My workload’s growing. To do list is getting vast
I say today’s the day, but today’s the same as the last
Waking up early, stress, then hit the sack late.
Without progress where do I fit in this rat race.
Collabs wait, patiently, but still they’re wait on me.
Known as reliable, so all this idle really grates on me.
Time out? “oh” …. My lady wants a holiday.
But with all this work I don’t deserve it, I don’t want it babe.
Who am I kidding? I need a change of scenery
A plane, train or coach trip, gazing at the greenery.
…so I can come back and delve deep
Not watch Netflix instead of on beats for LP
Who calls it one of those days. Huh, that’s her assumption but
The way I’m going it’s accumulating to a month of em.
Chorus x2 -
It’s one of those days. I can’t get moving.
One of those days... you know? the mood swings
One of those days. I can’t get started
One of those days. My mind’s departed.
x4 bar verse three by Lady Paradox:
So I drag myself out of bed - it’s an effort though
Nothing to rush for today - getting ready slow
Clouds reflecting my mood like the weather knows
It’s a working week: I guess i’d better go...
x4 bar Verse Three Gadget:
Monday morning blues stay with me through to Sunday.
I can’t make excuses and do things a month late.
I must distractions away. Step out mundane routines.
This lack of motivation is a must change
x4 bar verse three Lady Paradox::
I’m up late procrastinating
Got words in my mind but I keep Gadget waiting,
I moan about slackness - i’m doing the same thing,
I’m Lady Paradox & that’s what the name brings...
x4 bar verse three by Gadget:
Feeling like a failure. Will it all come together in the end
if I let the soul tether to the pen?
It's mellow with a blend of Blues as the mood swings.
I can't connect the ends. Feeling doomed as I do sing...
Chorus x2 -
It’s one of those days. I can’t get moving.
One of those days... you know? the mood swings
One of those days. I can’t get started
One of those days. My mind’s departed.
