Bank holiday and I though I'd better use it 
To write something that sounds like Japanese entrance music 
That wasn't my intention when I first sat down to write 
But that's what happens to a mind obsessed with wrestling day and night 
I watched eight hours straight of WWE 
Catching up on Raw and Smackdown and with NXT 
Then I gotta get my Yen's worth and watch some New Japan 
Not enough hours in the day to satisfy this grappling fan 
Super Strong Style 16 - 3 days of Progress too 
And did I mention Sunday night's the Backlash pay per view? 
Three more hours watching my heroes pretend to fight 
Then the cycle starts again with a new Raw tomorrow night! 

Bank Holiday - No Work For Three Days 

The working week's a backlog of dreams deferred and fun delayed 
But then this gift of time arrives and all the plans can be remade 
The three day weekend lies before me, pregnant, full of promise 
I really don't want to waste them - but if I'm being honest... 
72 hours sounds a lot but 24 will be spent sleeping 
Then a bunch more catching up on chores and quite a few more eating 
Realistically, the goals I have - seeing friends and family
The books I think I'm going to read - the podcasts, films and the TV
The creative projects I imagine I will be undertaking... 
Not even half of this can be fit in into the meagre time remaining 

So take away the fifteen hours spent watching pseudo-fighting
While these days are still an imperfect way of fitting a whole life in
And I didn't spend the time discovering a cure for cancer 
Or tackling philosophy's biggest questions for an answer 
And I may not clear my shelves of every book that I have picked 
Or be able to binge on my entire watchlist over on Netflix 
Or listen to every song my hungry ears may want to hear 
Or write a brand new album or get prorities clear 
I got to see Avengers - and that Amy schumer film 
And the one book that I read was a good one by Joe Hill 
And I saw Kamasi Washington play at Cheltenham jazz 
And I got back up to date with the Pansycast podcast 

And I wrote this song 
It may not be about anything important 
But I wrote this song 

And I haven't even gotten to the most important thing 
Because if you look on my left hand then you'd see my wedding ring 
Everything else I've mentioned hitherto this final section 
Is merely background rhyming to a public display of affection 
Three days off means three days in - three breakfasts with my wife 
And when I watch those hours of wrestling who'd you think is by my side? 
That drive to see Kamasi, at the venue next to me 
Whose hand do you think I'm holding while he's blowing on his reed? 
Who was forced to hear this song from embryo to final stage? 
Who celebrates and smiles when I turn a book's last page? 
It's not about what you do, but who you get to do it with 
I don't need a three day weekend to enjoy the life I live
