    "Lazy Day" is a 1969 song by the progressive rock band The Moody Blues. It was written by the band's flautist Ray Thomas, although he does not play flute on this particular song. It was recorded and released in 1969 on the Moody Blues Album "On the Threshold of a Dream".

    "Lazy Day" features Ray Thomas on lead vocals, and its lyrics go on to describe a typical Sunday afternoon, and includes activities like "Like to put your feet up, watch TV."

    Towards the end of the verses, the lyrics "It's a crying shame. Week after week, the same," and "That's how you life goes by, until the day you die" can be heard under Ray Thomas's voice. These lyric were sung by Justin Hayward, and describe the sad situation of the narrator's typical Sunday afternoons.
