Everyday
Is Like Sunday Everyday
Is Like Sunday Yea-Sayers: "I
find his sense of storytelling, with its irony and poignancy, very moving
and believable. The lyric to Everyday Is Like Sunday is, to me, a masterful
piece of prose, and I think that is very rare for a modern day songwriter.
I'm so fond of this song I've recorded a version of it which will appear
on the next Pretenders album.." "It's
moving, human and passionate, but strangely not in an explicitly lyrical
sense. There is an overwhelming feeling of loss but with desolation.
I always thought it was a touching reply to a piece of fan mail." "My
all-time top song would be Everyday Is Like Sunday."
- Siobhan Fahey (Bananarama/Shakespeares Sister), Q, September 1992
Nay-Sayers: "Watch
out Stazzer. What with writing about burning people at the stake, skinheads
and killing disc jockeys and such like you've got to be careful that
you don't attract a Sham Army style of following and end up like Jimmy
Pursey. Think on, lad." Moz-Speak: "They
were the first three songs that I actually set down and pandered across.
Which is probably quite awful to admit, but I had reached the stage
where I no longer wanted to be intense. I wanted it to be straight forward
and almost, in another way, I wanted everything else to take over. But
that didn't really happen in the way people viewed the record. So many
people who bought Viva Hate and bought Smiths records actually lived
with the lyric sheet for days before they would play the record. So
I think that's a unique position, but it's one that momentarily began
to suffocate me slightly." |
