I had seven days that took a week to end
I had a [?] and you can't stop me from sleeping the whole weekend
I had seven hours that took a clock to wake
You help yourself to tea and make nothing for me
Those liberties you take
[Chorus]
And when you sat on the floor
Was the first time I wanted to stand in the sitting room
When you went to the door
Was the last time I felt like dying in the living room
And now the world goes round and so do you
They say you're itching to sue and I can't stop you if I wanted to
And here's a carpet burn and there's an open door
If I wanted it to stay like it was that day
You say "That day's dead so hurry up and bury it"
[Chorus]
I had seven days of feeling second best
And certain letters you sent well they came and they went with no return address
Dizzy day with a shaking back
It's where you sat and you can't come back
This carpet's fresh and this rug is too
But the room still smells of you
[Chorus]
