The Posies - Ironing Tuesdays lyrics

"Don't break your back for me," she said Without hesitation All these things we don't need, and Two saved up vacations Well don't you recall mornings spent Half naked in a fray? Fighting over money Wishing we could run away (From) washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays (From) washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays Once we had just one room to share But now we have many But I'll work just as hard as if We didn't have any Well I'd relive the blunders and Mistakes that I've made And sacrifice the precious, useless Money that I've saved (From) washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays (From) washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays (For) I could have given up hope (and) We could have split up (but) Boxes of laundry soap (and) Babies that spit up Kept us together All of these luxuries we have They're just ornamental And whether we have them or not We can still afford to be sentimental 'Bout times that try us, times that make us Work just to survive Ties that bind us, and remind us That we're still alive (From) washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays (From) washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
