Ian's Song of the Week #1

So, I've been considering doing a Song of the Week post since music dictates my life most of the time, and today I thought I'd do the first one. 

This one is Ian's pick and he played it on Monday morning while we got ready for school, since this was our first day back to work after having two weeks off.  It motivated me to get out of bed at 5:30am (after tossing and turning all night, not used to the new schedule), shower, do my makeup and get dressed.  It set the mood for my whole day - making money and getting it done because we just have to! 

Both of us said to each other at some point the night before, "Do we have to go to work tomorrow?"  And our answer was if we wanted money, we did.  Isn't that a bummer?  I wish I was independently wealthy because work just isn't what I want to be doing on most days, and I'm sure everyone can relate.

I like my job, I wouldn't do it if I didn't, I like the kids I just hate waking up when it's dark in the winter.  But, 87 days from now we will have 2 whole months off and I will be loving it so I guess if we gotta have a job, this is the one to have!

So, here it is, the Song of the Week.  I posted the lyrics below in case you want to sing along while you watch.  Enjoy!

Sheena Easton's "Morning Train"

I wake up every mornin'
I stumble out of bed
Stretchin' and yawnin'
Another day ahead
It seems to last forever
And time goes slowly by
'Til babe and me's together
Then it starts to fly

'Cos the moment that he's with me
Time can take a flight
The moment that he's with me
Everything's alright
Night time is the right time
We make love
Then it's his and my time
We take off

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him

He takes me to a movie
Or to a restaurant, to go
Slow dancing
Anything I want
Only when he's with me
I catch a light
Only when he gives me
Makes me feel alright

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him

All day I think of him
Dreamin' of him constantly
I'm crazy mad for him
And he's crazy mad for me
(Crazy mad for me)
When he steps off that train
I'm makin' a fool, a fight
Work all day to earn his pay
So we can play all night

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him

He's always on that morning train
(He works from nine till five and then)
He works so hard
(He takes another home again)
To find me waiting for him
(My baby takes the morning train)
