Got to catch an early train, got to be at work by nine, but if I had an aeroplane, I still couldn't make it on time. But it takes so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear. Blame it on the train, but the boss is already there. Just another manic Monday.

Hey, la, where you going with that UB40 in your hand? Hey, la, through this green and pleasant land? I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing. I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing. I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing all the days of my life.

Looks like my album collection when I was growing up in the 80's. However, I don't think I had the best taste back then!
