Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
If we tell you that you’ve got two days to live / Then don’t complain, ’cause that’s one more than you’d get in Zaire / So don’t hang around and be foolish / Do something constructive with your weekend
From Monday morning I work for Friday nights / Collect my wages, then try to paint on the smell of soap / ‘Cause tonight I get ready early / Score what I need and go pick a girl up
It seems like ages since we had some fun / Here comes the weekend – I get to see the girls / Long live the weekend, the weekend is here
Labor Day weekend has always had a strange aura. My “internal time-clock” seems to have set itself at childhood.
My parents would send us to the “beach” for the summer. Careless days of slow summer fun would start the weekend and quickly fade before returning to the dirty humanity of a hot city. Dark, cooler evenings and the excitement of a new chapter. Possibilities permeate the air.
The weekend starts long and before ya know it…
Poof, it’s fall. Enjoy the sweetness of these days.
