Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be
Oh, Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me
Monday, Monday
Can't trust the day
Monday, Monday
Sometimes it just turns out that way
On Monday morning
You gave me no warning of what was to be
On Monday, Monday
How could you believe and not take me?
Every other day
Every other day
Every other day
Of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying
All of the time
Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be
Oh, Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me
Every other day
Every other day
Every other day
Of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying
All of the time
Monday, Monday
Can't trust the day
Monday, Monday
Don't go away
Oh, Monday, Monday
Don't go away
Oh, Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be
Oh, Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me
Monday, Monday
Can't trust the day
Monday, Monday
Sometimes it just turns out that way
On Monday morning
You gave me no warning of what was to be
On Monday, Monday
How could you believe and not take me?
Every other day

Released in 1966, Marianne Faithfull's 'Monday Monday' stands as a defining anthem of the British Invasion era. Recorded with a raw, intimate vocal delivery, the track captures the existential angst and disillusionment characteristic of mid-60s youth culture. The song's repetitive, driving rhythm and melancholic melody became a signature sound for Faithfull, distinguishing her from the more polished pop acts of the time. It remains a pivotal recording in her discography, reflecting the turbulent social and political climate of the 1960s while establishing her reputation as a serious artist capable of conveying deep emotional vulnerability through her music.
