Wishing The Days Away (Alternate Take)

On Monday I wished
That it was Tuesday night, so I could
Wish for the weekend to come.
On Tuesday I wished
That the night would pass,
So I could call you on the phone.
Now a man can spend a lot of time
Wondering what was on Jack Ruby's mind,
But time is all I have without you here.

On Wednesday when you hung up,
It was as much as I could do,
To stop from wishing Thursday,
Would pass so quickly too.
They're out there making history
In the Lenin shipyards today,
And here I am
In the Hammersmith hotel,
Wishing the days away.

Wasn't it a shock to find
The king was human too?
Still I think he understands
Much more of me than you do.
It seems a proper shame to steal,
His clothes but not his crown,
Here I am in the Hammersmith hotel,
Singing the government down.

On Friday I wished
That there was something more
To be seen in the letters you send.
On Saturday I wished that it was Sunday
Oh will this torment ever end?
Sometimes I take a notion
To put a torch to the tools of my trade,
Here I am in the Hammersmith hotel,
Wishing the days away.
Here I am in the Hammersmith hotel,
Wishing the days away.
