David Bowie - Friday On My Mind Lyrics






Monday morning feels so bad
Everybody seems to nag me
Coming Tuesday I feel better
Even my old man looks good
Wednesday just don't go
Thursday goes too slow
I've got Friday on my mind

[CHORUS]
(See my baby)
Gonna have fun in the city
(feel like fucking you)
(Do my baby screw)
Be with my girl
she's so pretty
(all I want to do)
(I'll go crazy)
She looks fine tonight
(zoom zoom zoom)
She is out of sight to me (so divine)
(Tonight) I spend my bread
(Tonight) I lose my head
(Tonight) I've got to get tonight
Monday I have Friday on my mind

Do the five day drag once more (Monday blue)

There is nothing else that bugs me
More than working for the rich men (poor man, beggar
man, thief)
Hey I'll change that scene one day
Today I might be mad
Tomorrow I'll be glad
'Cause I'll have Friday on my mind

[CHORUS]

(See my baby) (feel like fucking you)
Gonna have fun
(zoom zoom zoom)
Be with my girl [repeat ad lib.]

    Toute cest reprise son une perfection a jamais dans nos coeur Mr bowie 😥👍

  20. D.... W....

    ~ Love for Australia's highly under-rated Easybeats! Much love for the great icon, David Bowie, R.I.P. This is a great track from 1973 Pin-ups / Pinups: thank you for posting with photos. Anisocoria was not for Bowie as much a "condition" as it was something that contributed to his being so unique! And Exotic, and Wonderful. His Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

  21. P.... T....

    This song sings by Stevie Wright is a masterpiece !

  22. H.... T....

    A brilliant version of this great song.

  23. R.... C....

    pretty bad

  24. T.... H....

    Only one Bowie .....

  25. C.... S....

    Not as good as the 1960s easy beats version r.i.p Stevie and Bowie and George

    C.... S....

    Kong man you've put about ten comments on telling us that you prefer the original, it's ok you can let it go now.

    C.... S....

    starbar1958 stalker! Leave me alone AHHHHH HELP THIS PERSON IS ABUSING ME btw about 15

  26. J.... ....

    Ni sabía que esto era un cover.

  27. C.... R....

    Look people this cover is great but no one no one can ever beat the original version of this song what I'm trying to say is it the original version is the only one there is

  28. s.... c....

    Anybody remember the TV commercial to promote this album??? It was the album cover that was "animated" with David Bowie's lips moving singing "SORROW"

  29. L.... R....

    Bowie owns every track on this album. Best covers album ever. Still sounds awesome.

  30. C.... M....

    The Easybeats version is incredible. Leave it to David Bowie to do it better. Fucking awesome.

  31. s.... ....

    sounds like Tiffany

  32. f.... ....

    Great song, slightly ruined here.. imo

  33. s.... ....

    Bowie covering Angus and Malcom Young's older brother George's band The Easybeats - Friday On My Mind.

  34. N.... W....

    Classic track off a fantastic album.

  35. D.... Z....

    Off to BABYSIT MY GRAND DAUGHTER SIENNA JULIETTE WINTHROP

  36. C.... ....

    Wow. Bowie did this cover best. Just after he landed from space.

  37. E.... P....

    David Bowie > Easybeats, no contest.

    E.... P....

    I agree the easy beats one was the best

  38. S.... B....

    "Category: Animals"
    Me: Ok

  39. C.... H....

    Listening to an all time favorite cover record! Miss you much David!! Go see a legand while you still can... Todd rundgren, Neil young,still some amazing artists out there who deserve our respect and sopport.

  40. D.... M....

    Why is this song going too fast?

  41. R.... B....

    probably the best vocalist in rock!

  42. L.... G....

    my friday's night is being shared with you David

  43. L.... K....

    The best covers LP I have ever heard is Laura Nyro's album of Motown songs 'Gonna Take a Miracle' (1971) with LaBelle backing. The title track will blow your mind. Nyro was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in 2012. Many regard this Bronx child prodigy and genius as America's greatest songwriter. Her revolutionary 1968 LP 'Eli and the Thirteenth Confession' was considered widely within the music industry as the best LP that year: see youtube of Todd Rundgren discussing how this LP '"blew everybody's mind".

  44. J.... ....

    Thanks for good video and great song ! KTF

  45. S.... H....

    Loving this song, Mick Ronson is amazing and the BEST guitar player!

    S.... H....

    Oh i miss Bowies right hand man Mick Ronson .

  46. G.... L....

    He left us the best cover tunes, his fav pop tunes.

    G.... L....

    Giulio Luzzardi LoL it’s rock actually

  47. B.... M....

    He wasn't trying to out do your precious one-off Easybeats, you uptight wanks. He wanted to do a set of songs from when he was a teenager that he loved and felt had been missed or forgotten by a great many people, and he was right. Turned a great lot of us on to some other fine music from that time, ya old ass cows.

    B.... M....

    Ok Brian McCall sos but I liked the original better

  48. E.... S....

    Why are people so rude? Bowie's version is incredible! Absolutely amazing! miss you Starman ❤️

    E.... S....

    Sandy Sandy lols Studying covers I have done for hours too! I used to read every word on them multiple times. I'd even by doubles to pin covers to the wall (talking Pinups lol) back in the days of vinyl. Not just Bowie, Patti Smith or Hawkwind The Moody Blues Yes & whatever I had a craze on at the time. I tend to fixate on an album till I know every idiosyncrasy i can pickup. I couldn't live without music :)

    E.... S....

    He's still Ziggy here.I think his version is light years ahead of the original.Just ask Twig the Wonder Kid.

    E.... S....

    I've paid $250 for a hand knitted Marino wool Bowie emblemed vest!! So lucky to have scored a STARMAN relic!

    E.... S....

    Bowie epitomizes cool

  49. R.... B....

    all I want to do...do..do..............<3

  50. K.... K....

    Bowie fans...must be....O.K. :)

  51. R.... ....

    Yes, not the best, the original EASYBEATS is the best version....

    R.... ....

    Coming from an Aussie Bull you know what! Bowie's shit's on Stevie's Easybeats version musically as well as especially vocally :) imo

    R.... ....

    I listened to 20 seconds of the orginal. That was enough for me. Bowie only.

    R.... ....

    Claudia Moyer maybe if u listened to the whole song or r u not willing to try something new

  52. C.... C....

    il tranformer les titre d'une façon que Bowie savait le faire

  53. J.... C....

    bowie doing this track is amazing, I think he loved Fridays, just like us, x

  54. j.... ....

    This is a very limp wristed version, listen to the Golant Pistons version, kicks arse and best version other than original, RIP Stevie Wright.

    j.... ....

    I just listened to it, it fucking sucked

    j.... ....

    declanisdeclan Find the nearest hospital , you need help -BAD ! David Bowie and Gary Moore do it the best ! The Brits always make it better ! Fact !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    j.... ....

    no I mean the pistons version, Bowie and the easybeats are gods

    j.... ....

    Eweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you gotta be an Aussie . hasssssssssssssss

    j.... ....

    Easybeats are not in the same league as Bowie . Wake up .

  55. n.... ....

    Love this album and Bowies versions blow all the "originals" away.

    n.... ....

    Easybeats did plenty of covers, too..

    n.... ....

    And the man wrote so others could gloat

    n.... ....

    No in my opinion the easy beats take the win

    n.... ....

    No it really doesnt

    n.... ....

    They do not blow the originals away..Bowie was paying tribute to his youth and..bla blah...listen to the originals and you might get it..

  56. M.... ....

    Monday, I have Friday on my mind

  57. D.... i....

    I love it, and especially love that he snuck in dirty lyrics under the chorus. <3

    D.... i....

    I bought this album when it was released. Spent the best part of forty-odd years wondering if anyone else heard 'Feel like fucking you'.

  58. M.... J....

    Fucking crap your fucking up a good song

  59. c.... ....

    Monday mornin' feels so bad
    Ev'rybody seems to nag me
    Comin' Tuesday I feel better
    Even my old man looks good
    Wed'sday just don't go
    Thursday goes too slow
    I've got Friday on my mind
    Gonna have fun in the city
    Be with my girl, she's so pretty
    She looks fine tonight
    She is out of sight to me
    Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight
    I'll lose my head, tonight
    I've got to get to night
    Monday I'll have Friday on my mind
    Do the five day grind once more
    I know of nothin' else that bugs me
    More than workin' for the rich man
    Hey! I'll change that scene one day
    Today I might be mad, tomorrow I'll be glad
    'Cause I'll have Friday on my mind
    Gonna have fun in the city
    Be with my girl, she's so pretty
    She looks fine tonight.
    She is out of sight to me
    Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight
    I'll lose my head, tonight
    I've got to get to night
    Monday I'll have Friday on my mind

  60. J.... C....

    R.I.P, David Bowie, i will always love you and your music, you are the one that i remember that did so much in life and i wish could have been like you ! Tobad you had too roll in to the clouds in the sky .

    T.... A....

    Tony Avalos sorry to tell you but this wasn’t his song it was the easy beats

  62. E.... M....

    Just hear Bowie sing it on radio. RIP Stevie and Bowie.

    E.... M....

    I love them both as artists

  63. R.... D....

    And now R.I.P. Bowie :( so sad so many greats are going way to soon

  64. P.... G....

    horrible

  65. A.... B....

    for once a remake as good as the original...

    A.... B....

    Net even a little.

    A.... B....

    Nope better .

    A.... B....

    Sandy Sandy are you seriously saying that

  66. a.... ....

    Would love to have seen some acknowledgment of where this great song, originally came from. It was written and recorded in 1966 by an Australian rock band, the EASYBEATS. It was a top 5 hit in the UK, and top 20 in the USA. The songwriters were Vanda and Young. They have an amazing catalogue of songs. Young's 2 younger brothers formed ACDC.

    a.... ....

    Cool . :)

    a.... ....

    Lots of aknowledgement! We love them!!

    a.... ....

    Sandy Sandy no this isn’t even close to Bowie’s best so how can this be better than the easybeats

    a.... ....

    The original Friday on my mind song makes me proud to be Australian

    a.... ....

    I ackowledge..and it was a great song !!!! I am 60 and I still have that emotion.

  67. J.... E....

  73. A.... ....

    Oh, the people like Bowie kills the Rock. Unfortunately he is not alone. After a millennium, the music history will judge to these like him.

    A.... ....

    You haven't heard Diamond Dogs I can tell ;)

    A.... ....

    Well, various mega-music magazines say he is one of the top rock artist.

    A.... ....

    He is without doubt the most versatile musician of modern time :)

  74. P.... C....

    This song I use to think about every Friday back in 73!

  75. F.... ....

    Some of Bowie's favorite artists from the 60s: Them, Floyd, Pretty Things, The Merseys, Yardbirds, Kinks, Who, etc. 

  76. l.... c....

    Gary Moore performed the finest version of this great song.

    l.... c....

    Bowies version is best , Gary Moore third and then Peter Frampton's version .

    l.... c....

    Easybeats beats all mate

    JOHN blahuta The easybeats aren't even close .

    J.... b....

    +Sandy Sandy easybeats inspired bowie. period. withiut easy beats bowie wouldn't be here or have covered this song.

    J.... b....

    Sandy Sandy well actually they did this song first so.... it’s a matter of opinion I like the easybeats one etter

  81. M.... L....

    Still have the vinyl, going to put it on when I get home. One of my all time favorite since my neighbor bought it when I was 14

    It's funny reading old comments about Bowie ever recording again. A dream come true. THANK YOU MR.JONES!

  91. D.... L....

    Prima della lista nella playlista

  92. J.... ....

    Patti Smith's "Twelve" is good too :)

  93. o.... m....

    Bowie made this classic his own, and he was only like 26 yrs when covering this. And after, this he has made zillions of great moments in popular culture. Wish he would record and perform again!!!!!!!!!

  94. u.... ....

    Interesting that earthquake's version made it onto murray sauls friday salute after his weekend speach. The worlds only get down man! Mr Murray saul,now 79!

  95. J.... M....

    Soooo much better than the Rebecca Black Friday song.

  96. f.... i....

    gary moore did the best cover in my opinion

    f.... i....

    No Garr Moore did the second best !
