Thursday's child has far to go
This must be Thursday.  I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
~ Arthur Dent in Adams's
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Thursday doesn't even start
~ The Cure
And if you love a Thursday, she's gonna break your heart
~ The Monkees

Thursday is the day of the week following Wednesday and before Friday.  According to the ISO 8601 international standard adopted in most western countries, it is the fourth day of the week.  In countries that use the Sunday-first convention, Thursday is defined as the fifth day of the week.  It is also the fifth day of the week in the Judeo-Christian liturgical calendar.

Lyrics

  • Thursday's child has far to go
    • "Monday's Child," first recorded in A. E. Bray's Traditions of Devonshire vol. II (1838), pp. 287–288).
  • Thursday, it's more than I can stand
    I'm holding her down, holding her down, she's down, again
  • Monday's gone
    Tuesday's fadin'
    Wednesday's gone
    Thursday's all but wasted now
    • Stone Temple Pilots, "Days of the Week," Shangri-La Dee Da (19 June 2001), tr. 2.
  • Thursday I don't care about you
  • Thursday doesn't even start
  • Thursday never looking back
  • Or Thursday watch the walls instead
  • I'm not saying all the boys are the same
    But some boys are the same and it's Thursday now
