Description
This song began life, a while back, as an instrumental very generously posted by michael2 for open collaboration under the title What Will You Do? Blaky Smith and I both did versions and I was so saucy as to even steal michael's title because it was really a great hook, I thought.
I was pretty happy with my version, but anyone can see by looking back at the songs I've posted, Jim Bouchard has a history of taking my music into his Bouchardian Laboratory of Goodness(tm) and making it miles better; what he did this time is no exception. I think this ended up even more wonderful than usual because he was working with Michael's music rather than one of my wacky loopositions. This may be some of my favorite of Jim's bluesy guitar playing ever.
This is one of those times when I really don't know how I got so lucky. Originally working with michael's amazing music and then having Jim play so many new parts and add so much to it, is just beyond my ability to fathom. Thank you so much, both of you!
Cowbell lovers should be pleased. Also, stick around for the end, this is one of my favorite outros I've ever been part of. If I weren't already married to the outro from Saturnine, I'd marry this one with its great big wonderful jungle drums.
I did say this to Dion in the comments of the last version, but these lyrics are all in fun. I don't have it in me to turn anyone away who is hurting, no matter what has happened between us in the past. I could never do that. It was fun to be a tough guy in the song, though. ;-)

Lyrics
Keep your stormy Monday.
I don't want your rainy days.
You never knew I was there.
Carry your umbrella
all you thought I was good for,
you never knew I was there.
But, oh, what will you do,
when you need someone to hold you?
I'm here to tell you you, baby,
find someone else's shoulder to cry on
(what will you do) (it won't be mine) (what will you do)
The sky's gone and cleared up now
without you in my life, boy.
Hardly remember you were there.
You wasted my time
said if I waited you'd be mine
but you never, never, never knew I was there
But, oh, what will you do,
when you need someone to hold you?
I'm here to tell you you, baby,
find someone else's shoulder to cry on.
Was an old man
lived in the woods
found a young girl
thought she looked good
took her inside
showed her the world
promised her diamonds
then downgraded to pearls
she got wise
ran far away
now he's alone
and that's how he'll stay
Keep your stormy Monday.
I don't want your rainy days.
You never knew I was there.
I don't want your rainy days.
You never knew I was there.
Carry your umbrella
all you thought I was good for,
you never knew I was there.
But, oh, what will you do,
when you need someone to hold you?
I'm here to tell you you, baby,
find someone else's shoulder to cry on
(what will you do) (it won't be mine) (what will you do)
The sky's gone and cleared up now
without you in my life, boy.
Hardly remember you were there.
You wasted my time
said if I waited you'd be mine
but you never, never, never knew I was there
But, oh, what will you do,
when you need someone to hold you?
I'm here to tell you you, baby,
find someone else's shoulder to cry on.
Was an old man
lived in the woods
found a young girl
thought she looked good
took her inside
showed her the world
promised her diamonds
then downgraded to pearls
she got wise
ran far away
now he's alone
and that's how he'll stay
Keep your stormy Monday.
I don't want your rainy days.
You never knew I was there.
