lyrics Each weekend that passes we pull out the stops
And come Sunday evening we're one haggard lot
Now my belly's a-rumbing and my money is spent
Time to head for my job for to pay up my rent
It's a thankless existence for the working class man
Just a moment of freedom, then you're at it again
Monday is here, no reason for cheer
For it's back to the grindstone again
Well we paddled the river and danced on the sand
Played up a jig with me merry old band
Cooked on the fire, then drank til I dropped
Wishin' to god that this journey wouldn't stop
So free do I feel with my face in the wind
But it feels like it's over before it begins
Now I'm singing 'Hi ho, it's to work I must go
And it's back to the grindstone again, again
And it's back to the grindstone again
It seems that all good times must come to an end
Be it layin' with your sweetheart or drinkin' with friends
The wheels of the grindstone keep turning away
Time to head for my job for to earn up my pay
But I look to the days when adventure returns
With gold in my pocket and money to burn
And that bloody old grindstone won't turn anymore
And I'm living a life that seems worth living for
But 'til then I'll return to the pain and the burn
And it's back to the grindstone again
Monday is here, no reason for cheer
For it's back to the grindstone again
