Klaatu

Klaatu was a Canadian progressive rock group formed in 1973 by the duo of John Woloschuk and Dee Long. They named themselves after the extraterrestrial Klaatu portrayed by Michael Rennie in the film The Day the Earth Stood Still. After recording two non-charting singles, drummer Terry Draper was added to the line-up; this trio would comprise Klaatu throughout the rest of the band's recording career. more »

It happened back in ancient times 
When people worked overtime overtime 
In fact I think in 1985 
Life was busy in the big city 
And the union was sitting pretty 
It wasn't easy to stay alive 
And they'd run from the city to the sun and the country 
And never quite get away 
When the weekend came 
Everybody took a holiday 
Everybody took a holiday 

On a Sunday in July 
Everybody made up their minds 
And when Monday rolled around no one came home 
All the cities and streets were bare 
Everybody was having fun elsewhere 
As the weeks went by no one came home 

And they'd run from the city to the sun and the country 
And never quite get away 
When the weekend came 
Everybody took a holiday 
Everybody took a holiday 

But the world has changed today 
Everyone works in the usual way 
But at least we had one month away 
Things are much much slower now 
People get away anyhow anyhow 
When the weekend comes they take a holiday 

And they run from the city to the sun and the country 
And never quite get away 
When the weekend comes 
Everybody takes a holiday 
Everybody took a holiday 
Everybody took a holiday
