The Wedding Present - Pleasant Valley Sunday Lyrics

The Wedding Present Lyrics

"Pleasant Valley Sunday"
(originally by The Monkees)

The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song
They serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow the lawn

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care

See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
And Mr. Green, he feels serene
He's got a TV in every room

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand

Creature comfort goals can only numb my soul
I need a change of scenery
My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away
I don't ever want to see

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
