Visions of Splendour

(THE 9 TO 5 BLUES)

I woke up this morning
And I jumped out of bed
Yeah, I woke up this morning
And literally leapt out of bed
I was so full of life
I had visions of splendour in my head

Made myself some breakfast
And jumped into the shower
I brewed a pot of coffee
And had eggs wrapped in cornflower
I headed off for work
And got there on the hour
(So damn punctual it’d make you sick)

Well right about then
Things started to head down hill
My boss was in a vile temper
And his EA looked like she might kill
By mid-morning
I wished I’d stayed in bed ill
(That EA, she was so vicious,
she could make a grown man cry.)

SOLO

I got home this evening
And I fell onto my bed
Yeah I got home this evening
And collapsed back into bed
I wonder what happened
To that vision of splendour in my head
