One of Those Days - Lady Paradox, Gadget

It’s one of those days — my limbs are heavy weights

Under British skies, the weather’s grey

Watching Breaking Bad as I vegetate

My phone rings — - - they better wait

In my settled state: can’t handle conversation

Watching episode 8 before the song’s rotating

I need to move but I’m appreciating

In my PJs and the day is wasting

Gadget’s losing patience — I need to write

Need to pay bills clean, and fix my mic

Everything is effort — I should be out tonight

Housemates back in town for a reunite

I’m not feeling right — might have to cancel it

Phone is ringing again but I don’t answer it

I should get dressed but now it’s half eight

A lack of motivation that I can’t shake

Chorus (Gadget):

It’s one of those days, I can’t get moving

It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?

It’s one of those days, I can’t get started

It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed

And it’s one of those days, I can’t get moving

It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?

It’s one of those days, I can’t get started

It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed

Verse 2 (Gadget):

I plan the hell out of a day… it makes no difference

Sitting at my desk as I procrastinate for instance

My workload’s growing, to do list is getting vast

I say today’s the day, but today’s the same as the last

Waking up early, stress, hit the sack late

Without progress where do I fit in this rat race?

Collabs?

Wait, patiently but still they wait for me

Known as reliable, so all this idle really grates on me

Time out?

Oh, my lady wants a holiday

But with all this work I don’t deserve it, I don’t want it babe

Who am I kidding?

I need a change of scenery

A plane, train or coach trip, gazing at the greenery

So I can return and delve deep

Not watch Netflix instead of on beats for LP

Who calls it one of those days?

Huh, that’s her assumption but

The way I’m going it’s accumulating to a month of em

Chorus (Gadget):

It’s one of those days, I can’t get moving

It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?

It’s one of those days, I can’t get started

It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed

And it’s one of those days, I can’t get moving

It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?

It’s one of those days, I can’t get started

It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed

Verse 3 (Lady Paradox, Gadget):

So I drag myself out of bed — it’s an effort though

Nothing to rush for — getting ready slow

Rain reflecting my mood like the weather knows

It’s a workday: I guess I better go

Monday morning blues stay with me through to Sunday

I can’t make excuses and do things a month late

I must take distractions away, step out the mundane routines

This lack of motivation is a must change

And now I’m up late, procrastinating

Words in my mind but I keep Gadget waiting

Hate negligence yet I’m doing the same thing

Lady Paradox, that’s what the name brings

Feeling like a failure, will it all come together in the end

If I let the soul tether to the pen?

It’s mellow with a blend of blues as the mood swings

Can’t connect the ends, feeling doomed as I do sing

Chorus (Gadget):

It’s one of those days, I can’t get moving

It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?

It’s one of those days, I can’t get started

It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed

And it’s one of those days, I can’t get moving

It’s one of those days, you know the mood swings?

It’s one of those days, I can’t get started

It’s one of those days, my mind’s departed
