Wishing the Days Away (Alternative Version)

On Monday I wished it was Tuesday night
So I could wish for the weekend to come
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
Time is all I have without you here

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

Friday I wished there was something more
To be seen in the letters you send
On Saturday I wished 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
