Knapsack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She stops for a drink and meets a man
He says I wish you were over now
He buys her a drink, they stumble to his house
She likes to drink with broken men
They sit at the bar and wait for it to end
She likes to drink with broken men
They sit at the bar and wait for it to end
This person who came, couldn't come too soon
Then well, he says thanks for coming home
If not for the bar, I'd spend my life alone
She likes to drink with broken men
Sit at the bar and wait for it to end
She likes to drink with broken men
Sit at the bar and wait for it to end
She says, thanks for coming home
If not for the bar I'd spend my life alone
She likes to drink with broken men
They sit at the bar and wait for it to end
She likes to sleep with broken men
She lies on her back and hates for it to end
The lyrics to Knapsack's "Thursday Side Of The Street" tell the story of a woman who goes out to get some cat litter and stops for a drink on the way. There, she meets a man who is broken and wishes she were over now. Despite this statement, he buys her a drink and they end up at his place. She enjoys drinking with broken men and they both sit at the bar and wait for the night to end. The man is grateful for her company and says that without her, he would spend his life alone. She also likes to sleep with broken men and while lying on her back, hates for it to end.
The overarching theme of this song seems to be the fleeting nature of human connection and the desire for companionship, even if it's with someone who is broken. The woman revels in the shared experiences of drinking and sleeping with these men who are struggling, and the men are grateful for her presence, however temporary. The use of the bar as a setting reinforces this idea of constant transience, as people come and go, seeking solace in the dimly lit establishment.
