Slummin’ It for the Weekend

(Hums)

[Verse 1]
What are you doing tonight?
I'm out and I'm riding this train
I've got a ragged plum-voiced blonde across the aisle
Puts her mum down to her friends
Sweetly drops expletives into conversation
Boasting indiscretions in alleys she loves
Spent all my money on drink and anecdotes
She's saying "He's trying to act, love - trying to act delinquent"
The stone is singing, sparkles on the gutters of Hackney
Down on me

[Verse 2]
And the canals are the sweetest cut of all
Deep and grey light blue snakes like bruises
And the weeds explode like dreadlocks
Turning architecture to dust
"I haven't changed" she said "I feel so dirty, I see resurrection ...
... dripping down the walls of tunnels as we pull into the station"
It's a divided nation
What are you doing tonight?

(Piano)

[Verse 3]
It's so good, it's so good
She says throwing back her head
I just can't enjoy tonight
I want some more
Did you see that guy?
"He had his phase - simply micro" she says
In a horsey accent she found in an alley.

[Chorus]
What are you doing tonight?
What are you doing now?
What are you doing tonight?
What are you doing now?
What are you doing tonight?
Slummin' it for the weekend.
Slummin' it for the weekend.

[Outro]
What are you doing tonight?
What are you doing tonight?
