Day Tripper
Link Quartet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out now
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out

She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there, now
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Tried to please her
She only played one night stand
Tried to please her
She only played one night stand, now
She was a day tripper
Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out

Day tripper, day tripper, yeah




Day tripper, day tripper, yeah
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah

Overall Meaning

The first two lines of the song "Day Tripper" by Link Quartet talks about the singer, the singer, taking the easy way out of a situation. While it's not clear what the situation is, it's possible that it could refer to a relationship, and the singer is looking for a reason to justify his decision to break up. The next two lines reiterate this point, and we finally get to the subject of the song. The singer talks about a woman who was only in it for a good time, a one-way ticket, a day tripper. The singer goes on to highlight the woman's deceitful nature, describing her as a big teaser who only took him halfway there. It took the singer quite some time to figure out what the woman was all about, and he finally realized the truth.


The chorus repeats the name of the song, "Day Tripper," and it sounds like a warning or a wake-up call to anyone who might be in a similar position. The next verse is almost a continuation of the first, detailing the singer's attempts to please this woman, but to no avail. They only played one night stand, and ultimately it was all for nothing. The chorus repeats, and the song ends with a final "day tripper."
