Something Big Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

[Verse 1]
It didn't feel like Sunday, didn't feel like June
When he met his silent partner in that lonely corner room
That over looked the marquee of the plaza all-adult
And he was not looking for romance, just someone he could trust

[Chorus]
And it wasn't no way to carry on
It wasn't no way to live
But he could put up with it for a little while
He was working on something big

[Verse 2]
Speedball rang the night clerk, said "Send me up a drink"
The night clerk said "It's Sunday man, wait a minute, let me think
There's a little place outside of town might still have some wine"
Speedball said, "Forget it, can I have an outside line?"

[Chorus]
And it wasn't no way to carry on
It wasn't no way to live
But he could put up with it for a little while
He was working on something big

[Verse 3]
It was Monday when the day maids found the still-made bed
All except the pillows that lay stacked up at the head
And one said, "I know I've seen his face, I wonder who he is"
The other said, "It's probably just another clown working on something big"
