Last Friday Night
Punk Goes Pop Vol. 4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a billfold for two
Dashed in the finest couture
Well... I can't wait forever
Just waiting for the light to change
For a civilized meal
Dropping civilized names
Cause I don't need the way your weathered dress feels
I'm standing on a corner
Light a smoke tell a joke
Take a poke at the social decay
Cause I don't need the way your weathered dress feels
No no no no no no no no
When I can't feel the ground
Everybody knows I only dance with the harlots and the heroin
Geeked up three ways to the weekend
And everybody knows its easier to lie up here.
Well they don't need that
Oh baby! They don't need that
Because they know no better and do no wrong
Show me your world show me the light
Cause I don't need the way your weathered dress feels
No no no no no no no no
And I can't feel the ground
Everybody knows I only dance with the harlots and the heroin
Geeked up three ways to the weekend
And everybody knows its easier to lie up here.
It's easier to lie up here
I can't wait to make you shake
With the words misread and the bodies that quake
And you will only be there when I fall
I can't wait to make you shake
With the words misread and the bodies that quake
And you will only be there when I fall
Everybody knows…
Everybody knows I only dance with the harlots and the heroin
Geeked up three ways to the weekend
And everybody knows its easier to die up here.
In Punk Goes Pop Vol. 4's song Last Friday Night, the singer is portrayed standing on a corner, carrying a billfold for two and dressed in fine couture, waiting for the light to change so that they could have a civilized meal. They drop names of higher society and social decay and mention that they don't need the way your weathered dress feels. They cannot feel the ground and only dance with harlots and heroin, looking forward to making the person shake with misread words and bodies that quake, knowing that the person will only be there when they fall. They claim that everybody knows it's easier to lie up here, and at the end of the song, they suggest that it's easier to die up here.
The song's lyrics evoke a sense of hedonism, recklessness, and chaos. The singer seems to be someone who is callous, narcissistic, and self-destructive. They are not interested in forming stable relationships or embracing responsibility. They are obsessed with possessing power through drug use and exploiting people. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not bothered if other people get hurt because they are only focused on fulfilling their desires.

I'm standing on the corner
I'm waiting on the street corner
With a billfold for two
With enough money for two
Dashed in the finest couture
I'm dressed in the best clothes
Well... I can't wait forever
I can't wait too long
Just waiting for the light to change
Waiting for the traffic light to turn green
For a civilized meal
For a sophisticated meal
Dropping civilized names
Mentioning high-society names
Cause I don't need the way your weathered dress feels
I don't need your worn-out dress to touch me
No no no no no no no no
No, I don't want it
Light a smoke tell a joke
Smoke a cigarette and tell a joke
Take a poke at the social decay
Make fun of society's downfall
When I can't feel the ground
When I feel delirious or dizzy
Everybody knows I only dance with the harlots and the heroin
Everyone knows I only dance with prostitutes and heroin addicts
Geeked up three ways to the weekend
High on drugs all weekend long
And everybody knows its easier to lie up here.
It's easier to deceive up here
Well they don't need that
They don't need that kind of life
Oh baby! They don't need that
Oh baby! They don't need that
Because they know no better and do no wrong
Because they don't know any better, they don't do anything wrong
Show me your world show me the light
Show me your world, show me a way out of this situation
Cause I don't need the way your weathered dress feels
I don't need to touch your old dress
And I can't feel the ground
And I feel like I'm losing my balance
It's easier to lie up here
It's easier to deceive people from up here
I can't wait to make you shake
I can't wait to make you tremble
With the words misread and the bodies that quake
With the wrong interpretation of my words and the shakiness of the bodies
And you will only be there when I fall
And you will only come to me when I'm in trouble
Everybody knows…
Everyone knows
And everybody knows its easier to die up here.
It's easier to die from up here
