Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

Today we’re back in my favourite decade after a few weeks. On Friday, I went to see The Bluetones. As usual, at the time of writing, I haven’t been yet, but I’m very excited! I think they have some really underrated tracks so the track I’ve chosen today is one I don’t hear very much, but it was a staple of the Teachers soundtrack and therefore I listened to it a lot in my uni days.

The Bluetones: Solomon Bites The Worm

Monday, count all the teeth in my head
Tuesday, anointed by a man in a dress
It’s more than just a question of time
It’s more a question of reason and a rhyme

Wednesday, got hitched just like a good boy should
Thursday and Friday didn’t feel so good
On Saturday, I said my goodbyes
On Sunday, I’m food for the worms and the flies

Pack up your troubles now
Take all you can carry
On your way, your way
Just remember this time, you know
You’ve only got seven days

It’s more than just a question of time
It’s more a question of reason and a rhyme

Pack up your troubles now
Take all you can carry
On your way, your way
Just remember this time, you know
You’ve only got seven days

Until next time!
