Thursday is my...

From all the drugs the one I like more’s a Green Shirt
From all the junks the one I need more’s a Green Shirt
From all the boys the one I take home’s a Green Shirt
From all the ladies the one I kiss is a Green Shirt

Thursday is my boyfriend
Thursday is my girlfriend
Thursday is my dead end
Thursday’s my imaginary friend
Thursday is my brother
Thursday is my great granddaughter
Thursday is my sister
Thursday is my favorite mistress

From all the shit the one I gotta buy’s a Green Shirt
From all the jobs the one I choose is a Green Shirt
From all the drinks I get drunk off a Green Shirt
From all the bitches the one I wanna be is a Green Shirt

Thursday is my beach house
Thursday is my hometown
Thursday is my king-sized bed
Thursday’s where I meet my friends
Thursday is my hot hot bath
Thursday is my hot hot sex
Thursday is my back rub
My Green Shirt is where I’d like you to touch

Thursday Hero

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn’t get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his head to the wall, then with a distant sheen

He saw one Green Shirt, just blew him away
He had stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up T-Shirt in a secondhand store
Didn’t know when to wear it, but he knew for sure

That one Green Shirt, felt good in his hands
Didn’t take long, to understand
Just one Green Shirt, slung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go

So he started wearin it
Aint never gonna stop
Gotta keep on wearin it
Someday he’s gonna make it to the top

And be a Thurs-day hero, got stars in his eyes
He’s a Thurs-day hero
He took one Green Shirt, Thurs-day hero, stars in his eyes
Thurs-day hero, he’ll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one Green Shirt made his whole life change

Now he needs to keep on wearin it
He just can’t stop
Gotta keep on wearin it
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a Thurs-day hero, got stars in his eyes
He’s a Thurs-day hero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, Thurs-day hero, got stars in his eyes
With that one Green Shirt, he’ll come alive
Come alive tonight

Yeah, he’s gotta keep on wearin it
He just can’t stop
Gotta keep on wearin it
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a Thurs-day hero, got stars in his eyes
He’s a Thurs-day hero, got stars in his eyes
Just one Green Shirt, put stars in his eyes
He’s just a Thurs-day hero
Thurs-day hero, Thurs-day hero, he’s got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes

Get into a Green Shirt

Don’t you feel it growin, day by day?
People gettin ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to wear Green Shirts today

And you’re feelin good to me

Feelin good, feelin fine
Oh, baby, wear Green Shirts today

Whoa, oh, get into a Green Shirt

Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
Lookin for the happy Shirts
And I got to let them fly

Whoa, oh, get into a Green Shirt
Whoa, oh, get into a Green Shirt
Whoa, oh, get into a Green Shirt
For a time

My Green Green Shirt

Cool my brains and soothe my head
Stimulate me, my Green Green Shirt
Sneak into my empty bed
And educate me, my Green Green Shirt...

In the summer in the spring
In public places, my Green Green Shirt
On an island far away
Lemonade with my Green Green Shirt

And when I was down and failing life
You can save me, my Green Green Shirt
And when they said I’m telling lies
You believed me, my Green Green Shirt

And through the noise I heard a song
You were singing, my Green Green Shirt
And when you said that nothing’s wrong
I believed you, my Green Green Shirt

But you were on when I came through
And I remember you
Then someday I will wear you
When it’s Thursday, my Green Green Shirt...

Start Wearing Green Shirts

Start wearing Green Shirts wearing Green Shirts
Start wearing Green Shirts for me now
All your calamities and fits they will all vanish
I promise
It's just a matter of time...

So yeah, Ha!

Start wearing Green Shirts wearing Green Shirts (da da da da da)
Start wearing Green Shirts for me now
All your calamities and fits they will all vanish
I promise
It's just a matter of time...

STG

I don’t mind
You’re someone that ain’t mine
But someone that I’ll get
And you don’t know how
Hard I’ve tried
To convince myself that I
Can easily forget

But you left this feeling here inside me
One that never fails to find me...

On a Green Shirt Thursday
...a feeling inside me
Like the days of summer

On a Green Shirt Thursday
..I feel it inside me
In the hopes of one day

I won’t lie
I still can’t say that I
Admit we went too far
And you won’t see me change my mind
But I really wish that I
Could forget the way you are

But you left this feeling here inside me
The battle in my mind still fights me

On a Green Shirt Thursday
...a feeling inside me
Like the days of summer

On a Green Shirt Thursday
..I feel it inside me
In the hopes of one day

I can see that you're not beside me
But I still feel you shine inside of me

On a Green Shirt Thursday
...a feeling inside me
Like the days of summer

On a Green Shirt Thursday
..I feel it inside me
In the hopes of one day

The Shirt of Thursday

Hello Green Shirt, my old friend
I’ve come to wear you once again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the Shirt of Thursday

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A Green light
That split the night
And touched the Shirt of Thursday

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People dressed in shirts that no one should ever wear
And no one dared
Disturb the Shirt of Thursday

Fools said I, you do not know
Thursday like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the Shirts of Thursday

And the people bowed and prayed
To the Green God they made
And the sign flashed its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the Shirts of Thursday
