Sunday Sunday

Sunday Sunday is a song by English alternative rock band Blur, featured on their second album, Modern Life Is Rubbish. It was released 4 October 1993 as the final single from that album, and charted at number 26 in the UK Singles Charts. This is the highest charting single from the album (although the lowest-selling single from the album); the record company thought the original album contained no singles, and had the band write the other two singles specifically for single release. The band's original name, 'Seymour', is credited as guest performer on the CD1 single, due to the B-sides being recordings from that era.

The song is about traditional British Sunday activities, like a Sunday roast, seeing family and a walk in the park. The song "Daisy Bell" is a B-side on CD 2. Singer Damon Albarn once mentioned that he would like to make music his grandparents would approve of. Graham Coxon has admitted that the cover versions of "Daisy Bell" and "Let's All Go Down The Strand" were one of the worst moments in Blur's career.

CD 2 is titled 'The Sunday Sunday Popular Community Song CD, making it rather like an extended play.

Lyrics
Sunday, Sunday here again in tidy attire

You read the colour supplement, the TV guide

You dream of protein on a plate

Regret you left it quite so late

To gather the family around the table

To eat enough sleep

Oh, the Sunday sleep

Sunday, Sunday here again a walk in the park

You meet an old soldier and talk of the past

He fought for us in two world wars and

The England he knew is no more

He sings the Songs of Praise every week but always falls asleep

For that Sunday sleep

Oh, the Sunday sleep

Sunday, Sunday here again in tidy attire

You read the colour supplement, the TV guide

You dream of protein on a plate, regret you left it quite so late

You gather the family around the table to eat enough to sleep

And Mother's Pride is your epithet

That extra slice you'll soon regret

So going out is your best bet, then bingo yourself to sleep

Oh, the Sunday sleep
