cat empire - the car song
The weekend is the weekend and it's sunny in the park
I'll stay here with my beer and fish and chips till it gets dark
I've got a lot of homework but homewoek he can wait
I never start my homework till it's already too late
My parents say think about your future and my teachers say the same byt it's hard when there's a basketball game in the park
It's 1998 and everybody's saying: "Harry, you're gonna be a lawyer some day..."
It's Monday bloody Monday and there's two things I forgot
I forgot to do my homework and I've only got one sock
I'm halfway through a test bit I just can't concentrate
I'm sitting next to Fontaine I want to ask her on a date
I really want to start a conversation but each time she walks past
I start choking on my pencil and fall flat on my ass
I need to concentrate I have to get this grade
Or I might fail to be a lawyer someday
But just right now can't thing of anything better to do
Than just sit down at the piano and a write this tune
And maybe later, maybe later in the afternoon
I'll site back and relax and think of all the things I'm gonna do...
Someday... I'll buy an old car
Someday... I'll get that car to start
Someday... I'l learn how to drive too
And the Someday... I'magive all the things I could do...
(that was 1998 now bring it forward to the present day now
Cause some things have changed but some things (some things)
Never change (never change)
Check it out (check it out!)
The weekend is the weekend and it's sunny in the park
I'll stay here with my beer and fish and chips till it gets dark
I just saw Peter Parsongs who used to be in my class
I always gave him wedgies cause I thought he worked too hard
He said, "Harry, life is great - I feel so happy these days
I'm a litigation lawyer - So I got it made
I'm going out with FOntaine - Remember her from tenth grade?
I drive a Porsche so I can't complain..."
But just right now can't thing of anything better to do
Than just sit down at the piano and a write this tune
And maybe later, maybe later in the afternoon
I'll site back and relax and think of all the things I'm gonna do...
Someday... I'll buy an old car
Someday... I'll get that car to start
Someday... I'l learn how to drive too
And the Someday... I'magive all the things I could do...
so addictive!
