Wages Day - Deacon Blue

There he stood and there we left

Outside the flashing neon sign

With the smell of cheap cigars

And the hope of sweet perfume

And his heart it was reeling

With the thrill of it all

All to do and only hours

He said all this is all yours

You can have it all

You can take it all away

From where we left off

Living it all

Your way

If you’ll stand in my shoes

If you’ll do what I do

On a wages day

On a wages day

And the cap from Disneyland

That his cousin she brought back

Stays open in his hand

From one week to another

And this long narrow land

Is full of possibility

All to do and only hours

He said all this is all yours

You can have it all

You can take it all away

From where we left off

Living it all

Your way

If you’ll stand in my shoes

If you’ll do what I do

On a wages day

On a wages day

And you can have it all

You can take it all away

From where we left off

Living it all

Your way

If you’ll stand in my shoes

If you’ll do what I do

On a wages day

On a wages day

On a wages day

On a wages day

On a wages day

On a wages day

If you’ll do what I do

On a wages day
