Hunker Down Songtext
von The Roseline

I used to live a different life
Not long before I met my wife
Some denominations call it sinnin
I′d end up spinnin' in bed with one foot on the floor
I′d go out on a Monday night
Just to bathe in the Replay Lounge's black light
I'd flirt with service industry women
And end up spendin′ a shift′s worth of wages or more

Now all I wanna do is mostly nothin
Hunker down with you and try to tame
All my peccadilloes and bad habits
Lay 'em to waste
All I wanna do is mostly nothin
Hunker down with you, the cats, and the babe
Pull all of the crabgrass in the garden or touch up the paint
It′s better than payin' for pain


I was 28 years young
Crushin′ pills on a plate for some dumb fun
I just wanted to see who won
Under the Melbourne sun
The Norman Brookes Challenge Cup
And I remember waking up
In mid-afternoon with the boiling blood
Most every day I'd panic
It seems heavy-handed but I swear that it′s true

Now all I wanna do is mostly nothin
Hunker down with you and try to tame
All my peccadilloes and bad habits
Lay 'em to waste
All I wanna do is mostly nothin
Hunker down with you, the cats, and the babe
Pull all of the crabgrass in the garden or touch up the paint
It's better than payin′ for pain

When I was young I would drown
In all the liquor in bars downtown
I′d be up late and down
For any after-hours around
I don't fuss with it now
I′m ancient and finally found
A little love which allows
Me to suffer in lesser amounts here
On a dyin' sphere
When we′re all near heaven-bound


Now all I wanna do is mostly nothin
Hunker down with you and try to tame
All my peccadilloes and bad habits
Lay 'em to waste
All I wanna do is mostly nothin
Hunker down with you, the cats, and the babe
Pull all of the crabgrass in the garden or touch up the paint
It′s better than payin' for pain
