I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday i don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

One of the best songs ever recorded. I always get a crazy memory with it though...
I was in Berlin in 2001, staying with a girl I didn't know very well. She was working for the FBI and grew up an "Orthodox Presbyterian" pastor's kid, which means, "legalistic out the wazoo". It was a quiet Sunday afternoon and I thought I'd put a little music on... I was delighted when I saw she had that song... I put it on and just as the happy "dadadadada..." came on, she came out of her room, looking like she'd pop with tension.
"I only play Christian music on the Sabbath, okay?!" she said, fists and teeth clenched.
Wow. I felt so...pagan. After all, the lead singer does wear pancake makeup. But still...
LOL at your FBI-working, sabbath loving roomie! Hil.ar.i.ous.
Great song. Just what the doctor ordered.
lol That's priceless! My gosh, please warn me when I get to that stage guys ;-)
Which stage? Legalistic or old enough to be reminiscing over 80's tunes? Hmmmm.....
Darryl, I'm 21 and I'm already reminiscing about the 80s. I burn CDs with titles like "80s survival kit" on them. The other one.
It's interesting that anonymous brought up the term legalistic. I just heard a wonderful talk about Grace and about how it's often confused and twisted into either: legalism or license. But it's neither! If I'm going to be obsessed with something (which I hope I won't) I'd rather have it be Grace.
I think it was C. S. Lewis who said through Uncle Screwtape that no extreme is good except extreme faith. Gotta brush up on those letters...
I think most people have tendency to either justice or grace... we can all too easily slip further than is healthy in our preferred direction, but see people on the other side of the equator as heartless or spineless (depending on which extreme you're coming from, of course).
Personally, I'm a justice guy. So I try to push myself more and more to live in grace, to understand it in my own life, and to extend it to people around me. Sometimes it works.
Isn't that mercy though? As in the choice between mercy and justice? What I meant was divine Grace.
Anyway, I agree, it's way too easy to go to one extreme or the other. Not terribly good. I used to lean more towards the mercy side, I think that now I'm more balanced. I guess that as with ethics it depends on each case...
I had no idea such a silly story could provoke such great thoughts. Mlle Spitfire, you've outdone yourself... ;-)
I used to be a justice person too... then I swung too far into grace... and now I'm swinging into the middle with an err on grace. Learning to give my justice button the respect it deserves.
But good godly justice ain't near the same thing as legalism, and I've never, ever been able to stand it. Never bought it, never will.
And that's why this pastor's kid can love a song by a freaky-lookin' guy in pancake makeup. It's Thursday - we're outta bed and never lookin' back. :-)
I agree anonymous! Gotta love those 80s outfits. "Oleee oleee oleee oleee Roooooxettte Roxette" I can still hear them -sigh- May we play something by them Darryl? Please? Pretty please? (Cherry on top optional) We could play Dangerous! That way you can sing too. Such a great song.
Hmmmm. Dangerous is okay, but She's Got The Look is killer. Great harmony in the pre-chorus, and feels more danceable to me. Why not toss it on the list?
I thought it was "watch the wars instead"... that would be more interesting than walls.
So on my way home from my retreat yesterday, I popped in an old mix CD from the cool design company I used to work for...I couldn't remember anything on it... and #12 was....
Yay. Continual repeat.
I always thought it was "watch Jamal". I felt sad that I didn't know him.
