Rest Of The Day Off - Neil Finn

Totally wired and the game is up, I’m under the table

You carry my heart in the palm of your hand

As the clouds roll in, the party was rained out, open up to find

A man made home and by four o’clock

When the sun came out, we were beside ourselves

Taking the rest of the day off

Lying out the back

Slung in a hammock and gathering reams

Of space and time

Two eyes that surrender the call

Might come, fire my anger and spoil the whole thing

Not much fun when the pressure’s on

And your luck has gone but you squeeze my hands

We’re taking the rest of the day off

We like to climb the rock

Before we have lunch and we’ll turn our backs

On the whole damn bunch

Ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah

You find the answer walking the dog down the south of Piha

Over and done, not a lot to say when the man calls up

The line goes dead and you’re yesterday’s news

I couldn’t care less now, I’m here with you

We’re the only ones left and we’re flat on our backs

Taking the rest of the day off

You find it don’t add up to much

When you’re wrapped in a blanket of stars

With the one you love, hey

Like two shiny dogs, hey

With the one you love, hey, hey
