?Rest Of The Day Off? by Neil Finn
from his album ?One Nil?
Intro:
*2
Verse One:
Totally wired and the game is up
I?m under the table
You carry my heart in the palm of your hand
As the clouds roll in, the party was rained out
Open up to find a man made home
And by four o?clock when the sun came out
We were beside ourselves
Chorus 1:
Taking the rest of the day off
Lying out the back
Slung in a hammock
Gathering reams of space and time
Verse 2:
Two eyes that surrender
The call might come
Fire my anger and spoil the whole thing
It?s not much fun when the pressures on
And your luck has gone
But you squeeze my hand
Chorus 2:
We?re taking the rest of the day off
We like to climb the rock
Before we have lunch
And we?ll turn our backs on the whole damn bunch
Middle 8 (repeat this phrase * 3)
Ah ah ah ah
Verse 3:
You?ll find the answer walking the dog
Down the south of Piha, it?s over and done
Not a lot to say when the man calls up
The line goes dead and you?re yesterdays news
I couldn?t care less now I?m here with you
We?re the only ones left and we?re flat on our backs
Chorus 3:
Taking the rest of the day off
And you find it don?t add up to much
When you?re wrapped in a blanket of stars
With the one you love yeah yeah
Like two shiny dogs yeah yeah
With the one you love yeah yeah
D (to fade)
