Sunday People by The Monroes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mother, she is not the type you look at on the street
Looks like any other mum I know
Dressed in grey to take a walk as any other day
Takes a pint at Henry's half past one
Drinks it rather slowly, she would never walk the line
Her face is changing through the second pint
Mother has a lover though he's only in her mind
The minute she is leaving he is gone

[Chorus]
Sunday, Sunday people
Sunday shines for you
Sunday, she is shining
For you
Sunday, Sunday people
Sunday shines for you
Sunday, she is shining
For you

[Verse 2]
She had a chance, made a choice twenty years ago
Twenty years ago when I was born (Twenty years)
Time has changed and I moved out, Daddy's growing old
Mother's changing lovers every day
Anyway, at half past five, she's waiting with a meal
We have a chat about the day's events
Father's secret lover is more easily to find
She's no longer only in his mind
[Chorus]
Sunday, Sunday people
Sunday shines for you
Sunday, she is shining
For you
Sunday, Sunday people
Sunday shines for you
Sunday, she is shining
For you

[Verse 3]
Dropping in on Sunday eve to spend the night at home
Just to make them feel that I still care
Daddy tells me stories from the time when he was young
But I don't find them funny anymore
Mother says I'm much too skinny, do you work too hard?
Do you sleep at night and get to eat?
Do you have a girlfriend, would you care to take her home?
Time to settle down and have some kids

[Chorus]
Sunday, Sunday people
Sunday shines for you
Sunday, she is shining
For you
Sunday, Sunday people
Sunday shines for you
Sunday, she is shining
For you
