Written by Vanda & Young and performed brilliantly by their band The Easybeats, there’s something about Bowie’s version from his Pinups album that has creeps into my mind at the end of many work weeks.
I’ll change that scene one day.
Monday morning feels so bad Everybody seems to nag me Coming Tuesday I feel better Even my old man looks good
Wednesday just don’t go Thursday goes too slow I’ve got Friday on my mind
Gonna have fun in the city Be with my girl, she’s so pretty She looks fine tonight She is out of sight to me
Tonight I’ll spend my bread,
Tonight I’ll lose my head,
Tonight I’ve got to get to night Monday I’ll have Friday on my mind
Do the five day grind once more There is nothing else that bugs me More than working for the rich man Hey! I’ll change that scene one day
Today I might be mad,
Tomorrow I’ll be glad ‘Cause I’ll have Friday on my mind
Gonna have fun in the city Be with my girl, she’s so pretty She looks fine tonight. She is out of sight to me
Tonight I’ll spend my bread,
Tonight I’ll lose my head,
Tonight I’ve got to get to night Monday I’ll have Friday on my mind
New album "Observations" available now.
A veteran of NYC’s underground music scene, Mike Power played on the stages of such beloved lost venues as CBGB’s and Kenny’s Castaways, as well as stalwart surviving ones like Arlene’s Grocery and the Bitter End as singer/songwriter/bassist with Late Model Humans. In 2020, quarantining from the global pandemic he worked remotely with other artists to record a collection of new music called Observations, that infuses his punk roots with introspective acoustic pieces.
