  • Monday has come around again
    I'm in the same old place
    With the same old faces always watching me
    Who knows how long I'll have to stay
    Could be a hundred years
    Of sweat and tears
    At the rate that I get paid

    Sometimes I slowly drift away
    From all the dull routine
    That's with me every day
    A fantasy will come to me
    Diamonds are what I really need
    Think I'll rob a store, escape the law
    And live in Italy

    Lately my luck has been so bad
    You know the roulette wheel's
    A crooked deal
    I'm losing all I had

    Soon be like a man that's on the run
    And live from day to day
    Never needing anyone
    Play hide and seek
    Throughout the week

    My life is full of romance

    Guess I'll always have to be
    Living in a fantasy
    That's the way it's got to be
    From now on

    Guess I'll always have to be
    Living in a fantasy
    Though it won't be really me
    From now on

    You think I'm crazy I can see
    It's you for you, and me for me
    Living in a fantasy
    From now on

    Guess I'll always have to be
    Living in a fantasy
    That's the way it's got to be
    From now on

    Guess I'll always have to be
    Living in a fantasy
    It's you for you, and me for me
    From now on

    Guess I'll always have to be
    Living in a fantasy
    That's the way it's got to be
    From now on

    Guess I'll always have to be
    Living in a fantasy
    It's you for you, and me for me
    From now on, on, on, on

    Guess I'll always have to be
    Living in a fantasy
    That's the way it's got to be?
    From now on

    Guess I'll always have to be Writer/s: Richard Davies, Roger Hodgson
