Celia
Hey Hey My My Lyrics

The lyrics to Hey Hey My My's song Celia paint a picture of a woman who has abandoned her home and family for unclear reasons. The verses describe her leaving her town and taking her things, but leaving her keys behind. She seems restless and unable to find peace, as evidenced by the line "Stay at home, can't find some rest." The singer wonders why she was "so rough" in leaving, but ultimately concludes that she "won't get around" to returning.

The chorus, addressed directly to Celia, pleads with her to come back, as the kids are waiting for her. However, the last line of the chorus warns her to "watch out for those fuckers," which remains mysterious and unexplained. The final verse switches to the perspective of the singer, who has taken over the household duties in Celia's absence. He lists off his tasks of cleaning, doing laundry, and more, but ultimately realizes that Celia still "won't get around" to coming home.

Overall, the lyrics of "Celia" paint a picture of a family in turmoil, with no clear resolution in sight. The reasons behind Celia's departure remain unclear, as do the identities of the "fuckers" mentioned in the chorus. However, the chorus's plea for her return and the singer's acceptance of her absence suggest that the family is not giving up hope.
