The vast majority of Sylvian lyrics can be found at davidsylvian.net and slowfire. I'll generally only transcribe newly released songs that aren't up elsewhere (or ones that contain interesting background samples or vocals) and live versions of unreleased songs.

Selected Lyric

When Monday Comes Around

Track #03 - Wonderful World Single // By: Nine Horses

The letters I write, I write for you
But they’re not easy
And the words I used, I made mistakes
There’s no explaining… where is the excuse?
For the things we said, and the things we left unsaid
Believe me, I know, I know
Now the game is up, and there’ll be no stopping you
From leaving, oh god, oh no

When Monday comes around
I’ll be waiting
When Monday comes around
I’ll be waiting
When Monday comes around
I’ll be losing you
And I’ll be breaking

They forecast snow, and where are you…
This evening?
And chances are, the snow won’t fall
But I want it, outside (leads in)
Where the colour’s gone, and your footprints mark the space
You’re leaving, I know, you know
And the weather was, always your best friend
You’re needed, don’t go, don’t go

When Monday comes around
I’ll be waiting
When Monday comes around
I’ll be waiting
When Monday comes around
I’ll be losing you
And I’ll be breaking

[Background Voice 1]
You’ve got yourself nothing but hope
Why don’t you go fucking (frame one)
Fucking go to her
You’re fucking killing me

[Background Voice 2]
(Look what I did to her, I’m) not responsible enough

[Background Voice 1]
You’re fucking killing/kidding me
I’ll fucking kill you

When Monday comes around
I’ll be waiting
When Monday comes around
I’ll be waiting
When Monday comes around
I’ll be losing you
And I’ll be breaking
