Trudging slowly over wet sand Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen This is the coastal town that they forgot to close down Armageddon, come Armageddon, come, Armageddon, come Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and gray Hide on the promenade, etch a postcard How I dearly wish I was not here In the seaside town that they forgot to bomb Come, come, come, nuclear bomb Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and grey Trudging back over pebbles and sand And a strange dust lands on your hands And on your face, on your face On your face, on your face Everyday is like Sunday Win yourself a cheap tray Share some greased tea with me Everyday is silent and gray..... ==================== Everyday Is Like Sunday is the third track of Morrisseys debut solo album, Viva Hate, and the second single to be released by the artist. It made number nine in the UK Singles Chart and remains one of his best-known songs. Everyday Is Like Sunday, as well as the singles B-sides Disappointed and Will Never Marry, feature on the compilation album Bona Drag. The lyrics are inspired by Nevil Shutes novel On the Beach, about a group of people waiting for nuclear devastation in Melbourne, a beachside city in Australia.[citation needed] Also, according to Morrissey, the song was originally inspired after visiting the Welsh sea-side resort of Borth.[2] The track has been covered by a number of other bands, including The Pretenders (on the Original Motion Picture soundtrack Boys on the Side), by 10,000 Maniacs (on their Precious Rarities LP), the Armageddon Dildos (on their Come Armageddon maxi-single), Estonian 1990s pop group Mr. Lawrence and Mikel Erentxun (on his album Acrobatas). Colin Meloy of The Decemberists also covers the track on his solo album Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey. Dave Couse (former lead singer of A House) has performed this live with his later band The Impossible and alternative rock band Fate or Trouble who released the song as their debut single. A mostly instrumental version (containing only the title lyric) was used in NFL Networks When all you want is football television ad campaign. The single was re-issued on 27 September 2010, on CD and two 7s, including the unreleased November the Second; an alternative mix of November Spawned a Monster. This re-issue debuted at number 42 on the UK Singles Chart. It coincides with the 20th anniversary re-issue of his 1990 compilation, Bona Drag.
