Weekends Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You ban me from sleeping pills and codeine
I'm at my best, just even knowing
You're coming around, you're coming around
You switch from vodka, lime and soda
And I hate every girl that's ever known ya
And you know a lot about me, it's more than I can stand
[Chorus]
Only on weekends we feel the love
Only on weekends this happens to us
Only on weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you
[Verse 2]
And I took your number quicker than my next breath
I call your house phone just to listen, to hear what your life might sound like
What your life might sound like
[Chorus 2]
Only on weekends we feel the love
Only on weekends this happens to us
Only on weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you
Only on weekends we feel the same
Only on weekends is what we do
Only on weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you
[Bridge]
There's a place for us
There's a tiny little room for two
And it's crystallised in my mind, that tiny little room
With you
Only on weekends
[Chorus 3/Outro]
Only on weekends we feel the love
Only on weekends this happens to us
Only on weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you
For anyone else, but you
Only on weekends
Only on weekends
On weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you
Weekends Q&A
Who wrote Weekends's ?
Weekends was written by Amy Shark.
Who produced Weekends's ?
Weekends was produced by Dann Hume.
When was the song written?
I actually wrote the lead riff about five or six years ago and I just could never work out, or probably wasn’t good enough actually, to sing along with it because I couldn’t play [it] and sing at the same time. Then put it to bed for a bit and wrote so many other songs over the years. Then just abou...
What did Amy Shark say about "Weekends"?
When I was younger a lot of my time was spent hanging around waiting for people to finish work. They are the best years of your life when you don’t have any responsibilities and you just have this shitty part-time job you suck at and you are just waiting until you get to hang out with someone specia...
What is the significance of the "I call your house phone" line?
One of my favourite lines I have ever written is “I call your house phone”. It’s so outdated now but that was a big deal when you called someone’s house phone and you got a little taste of what their home life was like and you spoke to their mom or brother and you were like ‘I feel like I am a littl...
Are you enjoying that "Weekends" is shaping up to be another hit?
Definitely. That was a funny one because the guitar that I play is actually a really simple guitar exercise. I wanted to incorporate that into a song for a lot of years.
