Sting - Seven Days Lyrics






"Seven Days" was all she wrote
A kind of ultimatum note
She gave to me, she gave to me
When I thought the field had cleared
It seems another suit appeared
To challenge me, woe is me
Though I hate to make a choice
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
Well we'll see
I don't think she'd bluff this time
I really have to make her mine
It's plain to see
It's him or me

Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
But Sunday'd be too late

The fact that he's over six feet ten
Might instill fear in other men
But not in me, The Mighty Flea
Ask if I am mouse or man
The mirror squeaked, away I ran
He'll murder me in time for his tea
Does it bother me at all
My rival is Neanderthal, it makes me think
Perhaps I need a drink
IQ is no problem here
We won't be playing Scrabble for her hand I fear
I need that beer

Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
But Sunday'd be too late

Seven days will quickly go
The fact remains, I love her so
Seven days, so many ways
But I can't run away
I can't run away

Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
But Sunday'd be too late

Do I have to tell a story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

    I absolutely love the look on Stings face when Vinnie changes to the Snare Drum, when he says he needs a drink, that is the face of a really pleased Musician.
    🎩🎩🎩🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🔊🎸🎹🥁🥁🥁
    Absolute musical perfection!

  27. R.... V....

    When you're so good your music video is an actual live performance.

  29. O.... J....

    Props to the guy who can plagiarize himself.

  30. L.... W....

  31. D.... V....

    Colaiuta level is 12/10. Nothing more to say

  32. m.... a....

  33. m.... ....

  36. T.... ....

    I need that beer...

  37. A.... K....

    Vinnie drumming: Genius.

  38. k.... ....

    I consider this one of the best 5 songs in the entire world right next to Rush - Tom Sawyer, Dream Theater - Change of Seasons, Metallica - One and JOLLY - Radiae

  39. C.... S....

    I Love this track is ultra amazing i remeber the tour in Mexico, always I'll be your fan..! °,..,°

  40. K.... ....

    Oct 2019????? 🤙🏻

  41. J.... C....

    All is perfect here. Bravi

  42. d.... ....

    Why has anyone bothered writing songs since??

  43. G.... ....

    Sting is a musical genius...absolutely loved this whole album...

  44. B.... ....

    I always look forward to the latter bit where they increase the frequency of beats. Not sure how to call that. Tempo stays the same. Can't help but move around in my chair. Great song!

  45. R.... T....

    It was great to listen to back in the days when I was a student Pilot and just as great today as an Airline Captain!

  46. M.... N....

    The drumming on this song is unreal. I keep pausing and going back to listen to it...especially the end.

  47. J.... B....

    sting is not playing his fav bass!

  48. ".... A....

    Look up Chris Johnson drummer with Rihanna doing a jam of 7 days in Dublin with local musicians featuring then unknown Hozier on vocals - fabulous.

  49. A.... ....

    Gorgeous and quirky. I love everything abt this

  50. G.... M....

    Superb tonality, creativity, and engineering. This one will go down in history.

  51. C.... B....

    I love how all the commentors are arguing about whether it's in 5/4 or 5/8. It doesn't matter...if you needed to count it to play it, you were never that good anyway.

    C.... B....

    There is nothing wrong with sharing information, it's healthy... and it's interesting. Of do you view everything through a lens of competition?

  52. L.... C....

    I love bands back then they really put their all into their music. Sting is truly talented amazing artist

  53. g.... ....

    You are, perfect,,Stin..tank you..

  54. S.... ....

    “The fact he's over six feet ten
    Might instill fear in other men
    But not in me, the mighty flea
    Ask if I am mouse or man
    The mirror squeaked, away I ran
    He'll murder me in time for his tea
    Does it bother me at all
    My rival is Neanderthal, it makes me think
    Perhaps I need a drink
    IQ is no problem here
    We won't be playing Scrabble for her hand I fear
    I need that beer”


    Superb lyrics. Who is writing lyrics like that nowadays? Dua pissing Lipa? Justin bastard Bieber?? Ed wanky Sheeran?? Anne Marie??? No, cos they’re all shit.

  55. d.... ....

    Look at Sting's microphone :D

  56. P.... R....

    memories:)

  57. B.... ....

    Not malice, how do argue against,? A very bubbling civil war, now weres the fix, in such a polarized time?

  58. M.... S....

    Che pezzo clamoroso

  59. T.... F....

    Sting allows the other guys in the band lots of shots. It speaks well of him.

  60. E.... C....

    Just musical geniuses, casually having a jam session

  61. E.... M....

    My God the drummer. That is a lesson.

  62. R.... ....

    Does anyone know why sometimes we see Sting wearing Headphones correctly (Right heaphone on the Right ear and Left on the Left ear 00:44 ) and sometimes it's inverted 0:54 ??

    R.... ....

    Romulus multiple takes. That’s how music videos are usually shot lol

    R.... ....

    @Onamorata Yeah i now that but why he's wearing them inverted ?

  63. T.... T....

    Man if Jeff Porcaro were still around ... to see him and Vinnie duel. Mind-exploding!

  64. l.... l....

    Sting claim to be an environmenatlist?

  65. N.... W....

    Sting had fantastic taste in musicians, as evidenced here by Colaiuta and Sancious.

  66. S.... M....

    I feel 5/4. I've never heard of a 1/10 note. Maybe a schooled drummer could rationalize the 5/8 concept. I've seen drummers play 3/4 over 4/4. I'm a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, slide trombone and learned to play drums with all that schooled stuff under my belt, but it's not my main instrument. I have studied theory and composition, arranging etc. but still never heard of 10/10 time? Have to explore that for knowledge sake.

  67. s.... r....

    Why did you cut colaiuta's count?

  68. T.... ....

    2:47 the smile of a man who has more cymbals than you

  69. J.... ....

    この曲は、実際の演奏が収録されてたはずだけど、なぜかアルバムの演奏に変えられてるね。

  70. E.... S....

    Still love to listen to this lovely song at 2019 😍😍😍

  71. D.... C....

    11 out of 10 possible points

  72. L.... F....

    Hi Vinnie , you come in peace , right ??

  73. B.... R....

    Vinnie. That is all.

  74. A.... M....

    those 1000 people who gave thumb down,must be deaf.

  75. L.... N....

    This LP also featured "Russians" another great track.

    L.... N....

    Um, not exactly. The Russians song was on Sting's first solo album, "The Dream of the Blue Turtle". This song was on "Ten Summoners Tales". I really liked his first album, and it has some amazingly great songs. But I played my Ten Summoners Tales CD so much the entire CD, every song, is part of my DNA. Seven Days is my all-time favorite Sting song.

  76. m.... ....

    This is just pure class

  77. P.... C....

    Is 5/8 because 5/4 not enter

  78. M.... W....

    swietny videoclip oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy mr sting

  79. C.... M....

    I give this song 5 out of 4

  80. J.... L....

    2019...this never gets old

  81. S.... A....

    4:22 for years I couldn't figure out he was singing "its a big enough umbrella" and it sounded like he was saying "its a big enough (or something) from Allah"....

  82. g.... ....

    Sunday'd be too late

    Do I have to tell a story

    Of a thousand rainy days since we first met

    It's a big enough umbrella

    But it's always me that ends up getting wet

  83. T.... L....

    Never heard this song before, even though I am a dear fan of Sting's works. I listen to the end, and then discover he includes lyrics to my most favorite Police song ever. Happy to see this song :)

  84. j.... d....

    Was the album recorded in a traditional studio with this location just being used as a prop for the music video, pretending like it was recorded there?

  85. J.... L....

    The drums speak their own words...Sting was great live the other night here in Stockholm, Sweden. Cool man!

  86. C.... a....

    Immense fascinating light drum patterns come out directly from soul. Genius

  87. M.... 3....
