Weekend

lyrics

Half-cut and in quite a state
It's not the first time I've mistaken
me for someone else
and this is part confessional
but the confidence is parcel and
a part of someone else.

A mantra underneath your breath:
if it's attention that you want, my dear, well attention you shall get
and I am never second-best
but by design I'm yours, I sign off every last request.

The mandate is for better love
in better homes with better fathers,
mothers and the like.
And I can take that second shove:
a breakdown and a weekend and
a doo-wop part you like.

A mantra underneath your breath:
if it's attention that you want, my dear, well attention you shall get
and I am never second-best
but by design I'm yours, I sign off every last request.
A mantra underneath your breath:
if you hate yourself, well, that's about as sad as I'd expect
but don't you ever second-guess
that nasal whine, the country voice that you hide in your chest.
