It's Sunday - Precious Parade

Sunday, Sunday here again in tidy attire You read the color supplement, the TV guide You dream of protein on a plate Regret you left it quite so late To gather the family around the table To eat enough to sleep Oh, the Sunday sleep Sunday, Sunday here again a walk in the park You meet an old soldier and talk of the past He fought for us in two World Wars And the England he knew is no more He sings the songs of praise Then he reads, but always falls asleep For that Sunday sleep but he knows what he knows Sunday, Sunday Oh, that Sunday sleep Sunday, Sunday here again in tidy attire You read the color supplement, the TV guide You dream of protein on a plate Regret you left it quite so late You gather the family around the table To eat enough to sleep And mother's pride is your epithet That extra slice you'll soon regret So going out is your best bet Then bingo yourself to sleep Oh that Sunday sleep

When the slow parade went past When it felt so good you knew it couldn't last And all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning And you'd have to just go home And the way it all went by When somebody said "Come on, it's getting late" And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way Now you wish that you had stayed And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out Oh no, there's so much more that you need to work out Oh no, you don't want that parade to leave you now Not now And the days are all the same In a town so big, and no one knows your name And the people fade away, and all stars are just a flicker And you're left there all alone, alone When there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out Oh no, there's so much more that you need to work out Oh no, you don't want that parade to leave you now When the music's over But the song stays in your head Yeah Oh no, there's so much more that you need to work out Oh no, you don't want that parade to leave you now Yeah, well there's so much more that you need to work out Yeah, and you don't want that parade to leave you now
