Lazy Sunday
Madcap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Phone woke up up about 12 PM on Sunday morning
Bad hangover day
Johnny said what's going on today?
I said I don't know nothing
Why don't you call the other guys
I waited for an hour and then I took a shower
And headed over to R.W.'s house
He's was there with a bottle and ready to go

Just a lazy Sunday afternoon
In the city of angels with the boys
With a bad hangover and nothing to do
Just a lazy Sunday afternoon

Met Johnny and Torra later on that day
At the subway station on Hollywood and Vine
We took a train to Union station
And walked around Olvera Street
We met a crazy man, a crazy comedian
A social worker with a lot of bad jokes
He was there with a bottle and ready to go

Just a lazy Sunday afternoon
In the city of angels with the boys
With a bad hangover and nothing to do
Just a lazy Sunday afternoon

Get back to Hollywood and Vine
And met up at Westbeach Recorders
Saw Tim and Lars, but they had to go
Before we could say hi
So we talked to Donnell

Before today I've never ridden on the MCA
Never ridden on the MCA
Never ridden on the MCA
Never ridden on the MCA





In the city of angels with the boys...

Overall Meaning

Madcap's song "Lazy Sunday" is a story about the group's weekend experiences in Los Angeles, California. The lyrics start by describing waking up on a Sunday with a bad hangover and nothing to do. Johnny, one of the band members, asks what's going on that day, but no one knows. R.W. is mentioned as being ready to go with a bottle, so the singer heads over to his house. The concept of the song is centered around the idea of a lazy Sunday afternoon in L.A., spending time with the boys without any real plans.


Later in the day, the group meets up with more friends at a subway station and takes a train to Union Station. They walk around Olvera Street and meet a crazy comedian and a social worker with a lot of bad jokes, both of whom are also ready to party with their bottles. The group then meets Donnell at Westbeach Recorders, but they miss seeing Tim and Lars as they had to leave before they could say hi. The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they paint a vivid picture of a carefree day in L.A. with friends.
