XTC Day in Day Out

From their 1979 album Drums and Wires

Lyrics:

Clock in my head
Clock on the wall
And the two of them
Don't agree at all
Friday is heaven, Friday is heaven

Day in day out
Day in day out
Wish you were here
On the shop floor
And together we could
Count the dots on the wall
Friday is heaven, Friday is heaven

Day in day out
Day in day out
Friday is heaven [x2]
Day in day out
Day in day out

Brilliance. I love the 16th notes on rhythm guitar during the chorus!

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

clock in my head, clock on the wall, omfg

lmfao...how incredible!

i have been a huge dukes of stratospheare and xtc fan since black sea, yet i have never listened to this album until today at this moment in 2011, and i'm melting about what i have missed... but omg to hear this for the first time in this complicated year of our Lord... Everything is melting!

Andy Partridge is Genius without peer- awesome transitions0 true art if it ever existed-- drums and wires it the best way to 'get into' XTC- really gives up the early raw XTC feeling- wonderful starting point

[amusingscreenname]

way, way better than Bowie's...

[moxie96]

i've known of this album since I was at least 4 but the songs when they first came out on the radio when I was 1 and my sister gave me her copy of this record -the one i'd been hearing at 4- when I was 11

[neezledoo]

This cut is NOT on my original copy of D&W's

[brickbat246]

Best bit is when the drums fade and all u get is those chiming guitars at the end. Superb track

[fuzzizi]

Listen To This Through Headphones There Is An Echo On The Guitar :P

Clock in my head.... Clock on the wall... and the two of them, don't agree at all...Friday is Heaven....Friday is Heaven.... that background rythem guitar is awsome... XTC!!!!

[youenjoy00myself]

holy shit 5 over 6 polyrhythm in the outro...holy shit

[James Call]

One of the best songs about work ever written... right up there with "16 Tons" in my book (then again, I've been an admin for 10+ years already... groan...)
