Tung Måndag
Idiot Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kvart över fem
Har just gått hem
Har inte hunnit sova alls

Huvet värker av att tänka
Vill att frun min ska bli änka

Tre dagars fest

och jag drack mest
Först nu får jag betala priset

Munnen luktar självdöd iller
Dags att knapra halspastiller

(Måndag morgon)
En lördag till är vad jag skulle vilja ha
Men idag är veckans värsta dag

Seg som knäck
Känner mig väck
Men måste vakna upp ur koman

Upp ur sängen, börja jobba
Chefen får man inte nobba

(Måndag morgon)
En lördag till är vad jag skulle vilja ha
Men idag är veckans värsta dag

(Måndag morgon)

En lördag till är vad jag skulle vilja ha
Men idag är veckans värsta dag

It's quarter past five in the morning

Har just gått hem
I've just got home

Har inte hunnit sova alls
I haven't had any sleep yet

Huvet värker av att tänka
My head is aching from thinking

Vill att frun min ska bli änka
I wish my wife would become a widow

Tre dagars fest
Three days of partying

och jag drack mest
And I drank the most

Först nu får jag betala priset
Only now am I paying the price

Munnen luktar självdöd iller
My mouth smells like a dead polecat

Dags att knapra halspastiller
Time to pop throat lozenges
