Marillion - Drilling Holes lyrics

A man came to drill holes in the afternoon And by the evening Most of the afternoon had gone I seem to have slept through the morning But in the afternoon A morning is yet to come A girl came to help out in the kitchen And by the evening We found we were all washed up We ate on the lawn With the insects We burned incense Most of the band turned up It was just one of those days When the mind strays One of those days When everyone plays One of those days When everyone stays And all of the dreaming goes on A woman arrived in a panic With a picnic Better to give than receive A man came to pick holes in the logic He wore plastic And shoes you would hardly believe The evening arrived Slightly early like a pygmy Chewing the wrong kind of leaves We ordered extra tea Listened to XTC Under a shady tree Went back to bed at three It was cool As can be (two sugars for me..) It was just one of those days When the mind strays When everyone plays One of those days When everyone stays And all of the dreaming goes on One of THOSE days.
