One of Those Days

It’s one of those days — my limbs are heavy weights
Under British skies, 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 song’s rotating
I need to move but I’m appreciating
In my PJs and the day is wasting
Gadget’s losing patience — I need to write
Need to pay bills clean, and 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 (Gadget):
It’s one of those days, I can’t get moving
It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?
It’s one of those days, I can’t get started
It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed
And it’s one of those days, I can’t get moving
It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?
It’s one of those days, I can’t get started
It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed
Verse 2 (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, hit the sack late
Without progress where do I fit in this rat race?
Collabs? Wait, patiently but still they wait for 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 return 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 (Gadget):
It’s one of those days, I can’t get moving
It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?
It’s one of those days, I can’t get started
It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed
And it’s one of those days, I can’t get moving
It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?
It’s one of those days, I can’t get started
It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed
Verse 3 (Lady Paradox, Gadget):
So I drag myself out of bed — it’s an effort though
Nothing to rush for — getting ready slow
Rain reflecting my mood like the weather knows
It’s a workday: I guess I better go
Monday morning blues stay with me through to Sunday
I can’t make excuses and do things a month late
I must take distractions away, step out the mundane routines
This lack of motivation is a must change
And now I’m up late, procrastinating
Words in my mind but I keep Gadget waiting
Hate negligence yet I’m doing the same thing
Lady Paradox, that’s what the name brings
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
Can’t connect the ends, feeling doomed as I do sing
Chorus (Gadget):
It’s one of those days, I can’t get moving
It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?
It’s one of those days, I can’t get started
It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed
And it’s one of those days, I can’t get moving
It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?
It’s one of those days, I can’t get started
It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed
