WKND (Flash New Breeks) - The Rumjacks

Sixteen straight shifts, bust a gut for bugger-all

'Til the gaffer hits the bell and spits me outta hell

Firin' curses at me bouncin' out the door

Smoke 'em up, slam the pedal to the floor

Or the monkey on me back’ll chip away until I crack

And I forget what all me words are really for

The lollipop girls with their t’ick Irish brogue

Are tellin' me to take it slow

Oh, they should better know

Oh me old friend weekend, first one for weeks

I’ve a fresh ream o' dollars in me flash new breeks

I’ll find a good woman and some self respect

And I’ll be fucked if I don’t lose 'em all by Monday

All the good folk are safe indoors

With their chicken and their wine

God bless em all the swine

All born under gentler stars

I’ve a date with a dozen dirty jars

Like a tomcat on the tiles

I’ll go rovin' out for miles

To where they punish all them second hand guitars

Where them old sniffer dogs

And the neckless feckin' trogs

And them honeyskins will never think to roam

Oh, you’ll find me at home

With me old friend weekend, first one for weeks

I’ve a fresh ream o' dollars in me flash new breeks

I’ll find a good woman and some self respect

And I’ll be fucked if I don’t lose 'em all by Monday

As Sunday bloody Sunday comes and goes

With a jagged dusty start

And a stutter in me heart

Still enshrouded in me Saturday clothes

When it’s back into the bevvy’s I suppose

Before the Monday blues

Catch me dyin' in me shoes

Still dreaming of that kiss from a rose

And a voice in me heart

And the sickness in me gut

Are all tellin me to take it slow

Oh, like they’ll ever know

Oh me old friend weekend, first one for weeks

I’ve a fresh ream o' dollars in me flash new breeks

I’ll find a good woman and some self respect

And I’ll be fucked if I don’t lose 'em all by Monday

Oh me old friend weekend, first one for weeks

I’ve a fresh ream o' dollars in me flash new breeks

I’ll find a good woman and some self respect

And I’ll be fucked if I don’t lose 'em all by Monday

I’ll find a good woman and some self respect

And I’ll be fucked if I don’t lose 'em all by

If I don’t lose 'em all by

If I don’t lose 'em all by Monday
