36 HOURS IN THE DAY
(Words and Music by Steve McAndrew)

Verse 1
so much to do in so little time
the tension keeps my head spinning
i challenge the thought, I argue the case
it's not the taking part, but winning
every waking hour in front of this screen
life's rushing by on the outside
inside my head this brain is fried
as it's carried along on the riptide

Chorus 1
36 HOURS IN THE DAY
i need 36 HOURS IN THE DAY
36 HOURS IN THE DAY
give me 36 HOURS IN THE DAY

Verse 2
projects a-plenty, i dig in so deep
can I keep raising the profile?
soon will be twenty, oh when can I sleep?
maybe a nap in a short while?
hard to say no, it's the place that I love
runs through my veins just like moonshine
"steve, check this song out", which way to go
must appoint to see the family sometime!

Chorus 2
36 HOURS IN THE DAY
i need 36 HOURS IN THE DAY
give me 36 HOURS IN THE DAY
i want my 36 HOURS IN THE DAY

Verse 3
don't get me wrong, it's all about the song
it's all about self-expression
i enjoy it so much, it keeps me in touch
it's really my proper profession
so different from work, from the job that I hate
where pressure is ever abundant
but it pays the bills, and it pays for the hols
i just hope they don't make me redundant!

Chorus 3
36 HOURS IN THE DAY
i need 36 HOURS IN THE DAY
give me 36 HOURS IN THE DAY
i must have 36 HOURS IN THE DAY

Chorus 4
give me 48 hours in the day
i need 48 hours in the day
give me 78 hours in the day
i need a millenium in my day
