Soundcloud image to help deconflict the meaning of the song!
I have been listening to Gary Clark Jr.'s Blak and Blu album alot lately.
Update; today her outlandish behavior included silently getting coffee grounds from the garbage can and discreetly eating them in her corner of the office and then she made ME clean them up!!!

Verse
Monday alarm sounds loud 5:30AM.
Another day, 3 screens, the hours 9 or 10. Another month, the bills get paid, once again Already looking and longing for the week to end.
Friday morning feels better, just a day to go.
extra skip for the ten feet from the shower to the show.
Sweet band tee instead of a biz cazh polo
Zoom and teams to get paid for sharing what I know.
Pre Chorus
My office mate can’t mind her manners
My office mate just can’t seem to work
My office mate, can really be quite a jerk, and
Chorus
She don’t know it’s Saturday
She don’t know it’s a day to stay in bed She only knows by the light of day
I’m running behind and it’s time to be fed.
Verse
Her best feature is her curly black hair
And I can’t resist her when she turns my chair couple times a day a soft whimper and a stare Turn off the camera and I mute it right there.
Pre Chorus
My office mate can’t mind her manners
My office mate just can’t seem to work
My office mate, can really be quite a jerk, and
Chorus
She don’t know it’s Saturday
She don’t know it’s a day to stay in bed She only knows by the light of day
I’m running behind and it’s time to be fed.
Bridge
Can’t expect her to know what’s right
Can’t expect her behavior to be better at night 13 months old Such a fur ball sight... and
Chorus
She don’t know it’s Saturday
She don’t know it’s a day to stay in bed She only knows by the light of day
I’m running behind and it’s time to be fed.
She don’t know it’s Saturday
She don’t know I want to stay in bed She gave me one more hour today
A longer break from workday dread.

Wow that is some serious fuzz, but I like how it breaks up a little on the edges. Your vocals are really well done and fit nicely with the music. Hahaha, I love how this is about the DOG! Hehehe.....Nice one. Very well done!
@nobodyofficial Feb 2022
The fuzz is real. I like the reference to “3 screens”.
@toms Feb 2022
Glorious fuzz. As someone who has been fully online now for 2 years, yeah!!! :)

That'll wake you up on Monday morning for sure..... its great, there is a bit of Edgar Broughton Band about this (my go to when I can't think of anything else to put on). Anyway, bold effort, totally stands out!
@oldlostjohn Feb 2022
Oh man, that's a mean guitar! This is weird and fun and thoroughly enjoyable. I bet you had a good time putting this together.
@hbusse Feb 2022
Rawk! A cool distorted anthem to man’s best friend, who has become so many people’s office mates these days. I enjoy how relatively stripped back this is… perhaps could be fun to add a big distorted bass line at points that doubles the guitar?
@arkka Feb 2022
Cool riffing, sounds great! Works so well with just fuzzy guitar, stomping, and lo-fi voice. Fun lyric too, pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten it before the bridge without the image :D
@calfman8803 Feb 2022
I really dig the wordplay, fuzz tone, and overall atmosphere of the track.
I would love to hear this explode into a overdriven bridge and solo but that is not a knock at all, I think it is because this is so much in the vein of a Jack White song.
Nice work!
@leah0k Feb 2022
This is one of my fave beats... I don't know if it's the tempo or the driving kick or what have you - but it's groovy! I'm a bit jealous you get to have your dog at work with you!
@jacobeverettwallace Feb 2022
Man I wish I could play this style! You rocked this. Nice write. That fuzz tone is gnarly!
@fearlessflight2014 Feb 2022
This is clever- all the little clues you drop along the way. Musically it kicks! What a GREAT start to FAWM.
@emory Feb 2022
So fun! Took me a while to piece it together. =) your voice and guitar tone create a really full sound!
