Lost Weekend Songtext
von Lloyd Cole

It took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam
And double pneumonia in a single room
And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
Are you laughing at me now?
May I please laugh along with you?

This morning I woke up from a deep, unquiet sleep
With ashtray clothes and this lonely heart′s pen
With which I wrote for you a lovesong in tattoo upon my palm
'Twas stolen from me when Jesus took my hand

You see I, I wouldn′t say it if I didn't mean it
Drop me and I'll fall to pieces
So easily

I was a king bee with a head full of attitude
Wore my heart on my sleeve like a stain
And my aim was taboo, you
Could we meet in the marketplace?
Did I ever? Hey please, did you wound my knees?


You see I, I wouldn′t say it if I didn′t mean it
Drop me and I'll fall to pieces
Yeah, too easily

There′s nobody else to blame
I hang my head in a crying shame
There is nobody else to blame
Nobody else 'cept my sweet self, oh yeah

It took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam
Twenty-four gone years to conclude in tears
And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
Are you laughing at me now
May I please laugh along? Oh

I was a king bee with a head full of attitude
An ashtray heart on my sleeve, wounded knees
And my one love song was a tattoo upon my palm
You wrote upon me when you took my hand

You see I, I wouldn′t say it if I didn't mean it
Drop me and I′ll fall to pieces too easily
Too easily
Too easily
