Olivia Dean – “What Am I Gonna Do On Sundays?” (Lyric Video)
“What am I gonna do on Sundays? You’d throw the curtain wide and I wouldn’t mind. A sky of only clouds, sheltering in that subway. We proper painful laugh and see how long we can make a tenner last. I’m gonna miss you having something to say about everyone. Ruining my jokes, coming up with a better one. Leaving all this might be easier said than done. But it’s a fight that you coulda won. You can keep the rain but let me have the Sundays. That’s something I can’t bare to lose, no need to pretend. That all we had was sundays, we had our share of Mondays too.” — lyrics
