March 10 on 10: Five O’Clock World

 

10 on 10: A photo taken every hour, for ten consecutive hours, on the tenth of the month.

*****

STOP!

For today’s 10 on 10, click here to listen to Five O’Clock World by the Vogues, turn your volume up, come back here, and keep reading. :-)

*****

Up every mornin’ just to keep my job

.

I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob

.

Sounds of the city poundin’ in my brain
While another day goes down the drain

.

 

But it’s a five o’clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And there’s a five o’clock me inside my clothes
Thinkin’ that the world looks fine, yeah


Tradin’ my time

.

for the pay I get

.

Livin’ on money that I ain’t made yet

.

I’ve been goin’ tryin’ to make my way
While I live for the end of the day

.

‘Cause it’s a five o’clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And there’s a long-tailed horse who waits, I know

.

To ease my troubled mind, yeah


Oh my pony, pony yeah
Oh my pony, pony yeah


In the shelter of the barn everything’s OK
When I walk in then the world goes slippin’ away

.

And I know the reason I can still go on
When every other reason is gone

 

In my five o’clock world he waits for me
Nothing else matters at all

.

‘Cause every time my pony neighs at me
I know that’s its all worthwhile

.

Oh my ponyyyyy, pony yeah
Yeah oh my pony, pony yeah

.

    Thanks!! :-) I had to escape to Starbucks to get my folders done–even when I was trying to hide in the conference room, people kept knocking and asking me if I was busy. No, I just like to freeze my @ss off in here for no reason at all… :-)

    (Or my favorite–"we all were wondering what you're doing in here." Apparently the folder stack didn't tip anyone off.) :-)

    I love, love, LOVE this post – and I'm so disappointed to have missed *another* Ten on Ten. Could you maybe remind Mommy on April 9th? Because clearly she does not have the ability to remember on her own.

    Love the song, love the idea, love the pics.

    It's a fantastic barn–I need to just go out there with my camera one late afternoon and just take pictures of it. LOVE it.
