Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Merrymaking, drug takin'
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking,
Come in to my house,
You're invited into my house,
Welcoming you into my house,
Come in to my house,
You're invited into my house,
Enter in the back of my house,
Welcoming you into my house,
I've invited loads to my house,
Loads of people come to my house,
They take stuff inside of my house,
And smoke stuff outside of my house,
Merrymaking, drug taking,
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking,
I've seen it before,
Lots of people at my front door,
Lots of people in my front door,
Trying to get into my house,
I've seen it before,
Lots of people in my front door,
Lots of people at my front door,
Trying to get into my house,
Merrymaking, drug takin'
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, drug takin
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking,
We're merrymaking,
All the stuff that you've been taking,
All the stuff that I've been taking,
All the stuff that we've been taking,
We're merrymaking,
All the stuff that we've been taking,
All the stuff that I've been taking,
All the stuff that you've been taking,
Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
(merrymaking)
(drug taking)
Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking, drug takin',
At my place, baby, at my place
Merrymaking,
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

I still think Calvin Harris' first album remains his best to date
Mezzanine
what about Ready for the Weekend?
Aurva Roy
Isn't that true with other artists, not just Calvin Harris?
David Mitchell
@Aurva Roy nah - totally subjective tbh - for eg, I think some of prodigy's later albums are better than their first one, Same with Chemical Brothers, my favourite album is Further.

I think Ready for the Weekend was where he found his "balance" in what hew as trying to do.... then he went overboard
