 "I wrote in New York in one day for that compilation and that's the last I saw of it.  I went over and Roscoe was like "got any songs" and I was like "I got this riff."  He's like, "well let's lay it down and go write the words after."  Ryan Adams, 09/26/00

 Eric "Roscoe" Ambel to AnsweringBell.com:  "Monday Night was written and recorded at my 8th St apartment.  Ryan played acoustic and electric guitar.  We played to a drum machine track.  I played the lick on a home made instrument called a Dulcitar (half dulcimer/half guitar)  A few weeks later I took the recording to 33 & 1/3 Recording and played real drums and bass which kick in at the 2nd chorus.  The whole thing was recorded and mixed on my Roland VS 1680 portable."

Lyrics:

 I was a bad idea on a Saturday night
Rolled through your fingers and I made you uptight
Little boy blue with my laser on stun
Couldn't dodge the bullets from your infra-red gun
All I want is to roll through your fingers, baby
All I need is to make it alright
All I want is to be your connection
Win your affection, be your reflection
On a Monday night
On a Monday night
I was the last thing left of on an afternoon round
Dressing up for trouble at the lost and found
Tried to live forever every day of the year
Give me something before they kicked us out of here

All I want is to roll through your fingers, baby
All I need is to make it alright
All I want is to be your connection
Win your affection, be your reflection
On a Monday night
On a Monday night

Any other time you want me is cool
Everybody look, I'm the fool
I can let you in, if you can let me like
Being your connection, winning your affection
On a Monday night
On a Monday night

Oh, man, I wish I could talk to you
Oh, man, I wish I wanted to

All I want is to roll through your fingers, baby
All I need is to make it alright
All I want is to be your connection
Win your affection, be your reflection
On a Monday night
On a Monday night
