Bitter Monday
lyrics & music by Toby Roktot

ch- It's a bitter Monday and you're still around
Like a hurricane, trying to knock me down
I can't live in the past, even tho I'd like to
Go back to a time, when I didn't know you
v1- Your lips were smiling, but your eyes couldn't lie
It was plain to see, you'd been with another guy
Our weekend was over, before we could even start
Why you do me the way that you do
You look right thru me and all I can see is you
Take a gun, take a pill, take a knife to my heart
ch
v2- I take a long, slow look at you
Why are you still here, what can I do
To escape-this-day, this day from Hell
Tears aren't forever. crying is just a sound
I wasted too many days searching for common ground
Buying all the shallow love you wanted to sell
ch/v1/ch

Goddamn winter’s at the door again
Saw the sun shining over the weekend
tried to have fun before it dropped
but the shit kept coming and it never stopped

F#m F#m E E A C#m D E
Bitter, bitter Monday
why do you darken up my door
Bitter, bitter Monday
get the fuck off my lawn

Goddamn dark clouds rolling in
Clear skies steady over the weekend
tried to keep smiling like I’m alright
but the shit kept coming like a fucking blight

C#m C#m F#m E C#m C#m D E x2

Bitter, bitter Monday
why do you darken up my door
Bitter, bitter Monday
get the fuck off my lawn

Bitter, bitter Monday
Why do you ring my bell and run
Bitter, bitter Monday
you’re not any fun

Bitter Monday - Kevin Mellows

A salty Friday drags on and on
‘Till sweet Saturday comes along
But Sunday evening sours the fun
And a bitter Monday is sure to come
You left such a bad taste in my mouth

Friday night we were friends
Saturday I asked for your hand
But secretly you had other plans
And by Sunday night we came to an end
You left such a bad taste in my mouth

Monday comes and you’re not here
Makes the week feel like a year
When next weekend shows itself
I’m gonna find somebody else

Oh I thought you wanted more
But instead you're leaving for
A sugar daddy fool who doesn’t know
You’re a jawbreaker with a sour core
You left such a bad taste in my mouth

Monday comes and you’re not here
Makes the week feel like a year
When next weekend shows itself
I’m gonna find somebody else
I’m gonna find somebody else

A salty Friday drags on and on
‘Till sweet Saturday comes along
But Sunday evening sours the fun
And a bitter Monday is sure to come
You left such a bad taste in my mouth
You left such a bad taste in my mouth

Bitter Monday
by Cord Smith

i lived in this town for 80 odd years
so many times gone with the passing of friends
a time when the rails brought news good and bad
those days gave way to the dreams of the mad

keep your head up
don't give them a show
you can't let them know
your days are burning away
what is today?

the old types of stories gave way to the new
the faces aren't friendly the smiles are few
goodnight to starlight, bitters and grain
long time to think what might have been

put on your orange vest and clock in
put on your coffee stained tooth grin
welcome them in
come in
and if you want to leave just sink in

my last days are packed with millions of friends
friend is a word i'm willing to bend
overtime nights become my new war
a lifetime to think what it was all for

Nick Soma - Bitter Monday

Oh bitter monday, I've given all I can
But I know that one day, I'll need a better plan...

I'm falling down
I'm falling down

Oh bitter monday, I'm by myself again
I know that one day, I'll need another plan

'cuz I'm falling down
I'm falling down... Down

Monday, so much trouble on my mind
And some may encourage me and say
That one day, perhaps, maybe I'll find
That fun they still know but which for me
Has slipped away
