Something for the Weekend
The Divine Comedy Lyrics

She said 'There's something in the woodshed
The singer informed her partner that something was amiss in the shed

And I can hear it breathing
The singer could hear audible breaths, indicating the presence of something alive in the shed

It's such and eerie feeling, darling'
The vibe was causing an unsettling feeling of discomfort, likely inducing fear or anxiety

He said 'There's nothing in the woodshed
The partner attempted to reassure her that nothing was there

It's your imagination
The partner suggested that the artist's mind was projecting this 'something' into existence

End of conversation, darling'
The partner wished for the conversation to end and for the topic to be dropped

Something in his heart told him to come clean
The singer felt a moral obligation to reveal the truth about himself

He was not who he claimed to be
The artist had been pretending to be someone he was not

Something in his genes told him to pretend
A natural tendency or learned behavior was causing the artist to continue their deception

'Twas something for the weekend
The deception was not sustained indefinitely, but provided only a temporary distraction from reality

But she said 'There's something in the woodshed
The singer continued to insist on the presence of something unusual in the shed

I know because I saw it
The artist had seen conclusive evidence of the presence of this something

I can't simply ignore it, darling
The singer's curiosity or concern could not be easily disregarded or dismissed

So he said 'Now baby don't be stupid
The partner became dismissive and condescending in response to the singer's claim

Get this into your sweet head
The partner attempted to educate or persuade the singer to adopt the partner's perspective

There ain't nothing in the woodshed
The partner continued to deny the presence of any unusual entity

(Except maybe some wood)
The partner's response contains a wry or humorous tone, possibly indicating that the partner already knows the full truth of the matter

I'll go all the way with you
The singer promises to accompany the partner on a journey or through a difficult experience

If you'll only do the same for me - go and see
The singer asks the partner to reciprocate the singer's gesture by taking action to uncover the truth

If it's nothing like you say
The artist proposes a condition that must be met for the partner to fulfill the request

Then you can have your wicked way with me
The artist will reward the partner for fulfilling this request

He went down to the woodshed
The artist investigated the shed as per the partner's request

They came down hard on his head
The singer was suddenly and violently assaulted

Gagged and bound and left for dead
The artist was restrained and left unconscious, likely near death

When he woke she was gone with his car and
Upon regaining consciousness, the singer discovered that the partner had taken the singer's vehicle and absconded

All of his money
The partner took all of the singer's financial resources along with them
