about
This is Flipside Bride's 2nd single of 2019 released 13th July to coincide with the 40th anniversary release of 'I Don't Like Mondays' by The Boomtown Rats. This is our cover/serious parody with lyrics re-written by Manic Pianic adapted from the original by Sir Bob Geldof in order to raise awareness of The Meat Free Mondays campaign headed by Sir Paul McCartney: www.meatfreemondays.com
All the proceeds from this single are going to The Pudz Animal Sanctuary based in Lincolnshire, UK run by Sheena Louise: www.facebook.com/pudzanimalsanctuary We are not taking any money ourselves, all expenses have come out of our own pocket.
We are offering this track for free/name-your-own-price. However, our goal is to raise money for The Pudz Animal Sanctuary so please consider making a donation, no matter how small. In fact, please download from our own website as more money goes to charity if you do. And please share. Thank you.
The conscience chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody’s gonna eat meat today
She’s going to make them food at home
And daddy doesn’t understand it
He always said this was a bad idea
And she can see no reason
‘Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be sure oh, oh oh oh
Tell me why
I quite like Mondays
Tell me why
I quite like Mondays
Tell me why
I quite like Mondays
I want to eat, eat eat eat eat eat...
The whole lot down
So she cooks with beans and rice and greens
She discovers a whole new world
And mother feels so shocked
Factory farms should stop
As her thoughts begin to unfurl
Behind the scenes ain’t that peachy keen
Now, it ain’t so neat to eat that piece of meat
She can see no reasons
‘Cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need oh, oh oh oh
Tell me why
I quite like Mondays
Tell me why
I quite like Mondays
Tell me why
I quite like Mondays
I want to eat, eat eat eat eat eat
The whole lot down
Down, down
Eat it all down
As the cruelty stops in the butcher’s shops
When we ponder for a little while
And the tides are turning for soon we’ll be learning
The lesson today is how animals die
But then their bacon crackles
And society tackles
With the problems and the how’s and why’s
And we can see no reasons
‘Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need; they die, die, die die die
Tell me why
I quite like Mondays
Tell me why
I quite like Mondays
Tell me why
I quite like, I quite like, I quite like Mondays
Tell me why
I quite like, I quite like, (tell me why) I quite like Mondays
Tell me why
I quite like Mondays
I want to eat, eat eat eat eat eat...
The. Whole. Lot. Down.
