about

‘Weekend’ is all about the rat race! Corporate jobs, a cog in the machine, rat on the wheel, half-asleep, routine, cut loose on the weekend, repeat!

lyrics

Work all of the weekdays, work all of the time
You’re earning a good wage, but you’re wasting it away in your prime
Spend your days in the office under those bright fluorescent lights
You’re bound to your desk
You’ve got a headache but you gotta meet deadlines
Working nine to five
Monday to Friday, only living for the weekend

Drive home under the streetlights, look down at the road
Count down the hours, the minutes ‘til Friday night so you can let go
Step out into the spotlight, now you’re taking the wheel
Only takes a few pints you can come alive
Remember how to think and feel
Working all week long
Friday night to Sunday, oh you’re living for the weekend

Climb that ladder, get to the top of it
Earn money, spend it on a mortgage
Only seven years until a holiday
Do your overtime then you could get away
Work hard, you’ve got your weekends to play
Party and live it up with your mates
Oh, one day you might retire ‘til then
Living for the weekend

Work all of the weekdays
Work all of the time
What are you doing with your life, you’re only living for the weekend
You’re not living everyday, you’re only living on the weekend
Spending all your time and money, you’re just working for the weekend
What are you doing with your life, you’re only living for the weekend

about

Emilee South image

Emilee South Melbourne, Australia

Emilee South plays commanding and fervent rock music. Combining the raw edge of punk with the driving force of rock, South shouts unapologetically over chaotic guitar riffs and charging rhythms to themes of capitalism, feminism, privilege, and the power of community. With influences ranging from Grinderman and IDLES to Sharon Van Etten, the band go from from urgent hooks to unyielding power. ... more
