Arab Strap The First Big Weekend Lyrics

The First Big Weekend Lyrics

So that was the first big weekend of the summer...
Starts thursday as usual with the canteen quiz and again no-one wins the big
cash prize.
Later I do my sound bloke routine by approaching gina’s new boyfriend to say
that he shouldn’t feel that there’s any animosity between us and then I even go
and make peace with her shouldn’t hav
Hered.

Then on friday night we went through to the arches...

There was only one car going so some of us had to get the train. we got through
quite late. then we went to a pub to take the gear.
There was no problems getting in - we saw some others waiting down the front of
the queue so we skipped in.
It was a good night - everyone was nutted and I ended up dancing with some
blonde girl.
I thought she had been quite pretty until last night when matthew informed me
that she had, in fact, been a pig.

When the club finished we wandered the streets for a while until we got to this
24-hour cafe.
I didn’t like the look of it so we left and got a taxi back to morag’s flat.
I couldn’t sleep so I sat about drinking someone else’s strawberry tonic wine
and tried to keep everyone else up.

Then at ten o’clock in the morning we went downstairs to buy some drink. we had
intended to watch the football in the afternoon but we’d passed out by then and
slept right through it, awaking to
That england had won two-nil.
Then we went to get the train home and had a few in the station bar.
We had some stuff left from the previous night’s supplies so when we got home
we decided to go down to john’s indie disco.
Same story as friday - lots of hugging, lots of dancing etc. etc.
I couldn’t sleep again so went to the park to look at the toon, taking a detour
through the playpark.
To get in we had to climb over a ten foot steel fence, which resulted in severe
bruising of our hands, legs and groins, but we had a good laugh on the stuff,
especially the tube-slide, which pro
Doubles up as a urinal for drunk teens.
Then we walked through the woods to have a look at the toon. big
disappointment, but the mist on the lake was cool.

Sunday afternoon we go up to john’s with a lot of beer in time to watch the
simpsons - it was a really good episode about love always ending in tragedy
except, of course, for marge and homer. it
Quite moving at the end and to tell you the truth my eyes were a bit damp.

Then we watched these young girls in swimsuits have a water fight in the
street.
We went up to the pub about ten.
It was busy for a sunday night, lots of people we know, including my first ever
girlfriend who I still find very attractive, quite frankly, but I didn’t really
speak to her
She’s probably still a bit*h, anyway.
Her friend gillian was there, I had a chat with her, she was still quite
pleasant.
At the same time I watched malcolm make some terrible attempt to try and chat
up a girl we know called jo. he made some remark about her skirt that was
barely there the previous night or somethi

I couldn’t sleep again that night, thanks to some seriously disturbing
nightmares...matthew says I should cut down on the cheese.

"went out for the weekend, it lasted for ever, high with our friends it’s
officially summer."

I got some sleep eventually on monday afternoon.
It was a beautiful day, and later that evening malcolm introduced me to the
power of merrydown - ³1.79 a litre, 8.2% - mmmm.....
Judith and laura came round later and we sat in my back garden and drank.
Then matthew came round and we went up the town.
It’s officially summer.
