Taking Back Sunday- Your Own Disaster

Hey lush, have fun.
It's the weekend.
Hey lush, have fun.
Hey lush, have fun.
Its the weekend.
Hey lush, have fun.
(Oh i don't think that you know what you've been missing.
No, i don't think that you know what you've been missing.)
Hey lush, have fun.
It's the weekend.
(Oh, i don't think that you know what you've been missing.
No i don't think that you know what you've been missing.)

This song by the band, Taking Back Sunday, is a testament to a female friend of the songwriters. The repetition in this song is used to reinforce the idea of alcoholism as it pertains to the writer's lover. Lush is traditionally only a term used for females. To the writer of the song the habitual drinking of the girl has left him upset and feeling emotionally drained. He is has given up in reference to the phrase, "...have fun its the weekend." the whole song also seems to be a tribute to her drinking problem as well his disgust for it. This repetition serves to reinforce the principle that alcohol addiction can destroy relationships, lives and respect for others.

  1. female frier? really will?
    I agree that this song is aimed at an ex girlfriend or something...or ex boyfriend depending on how you look at it. It's a little on the mean side, but its a good song regardless.
