Let's get drunk on Saturday
Walk up Primrose Hill until we lose our way
We'll get sunburned on the grass
Playing silly buggers 'til I make a pass
And you laugh at my face

Unemployed in summertime
I've only just turned 21, I'll be okay
Unemployed in summertime
Don't need money 'cause we're young
I'll just stay awake till the morning
With makeup all over my face

Sorry don't get mad at me
I just did the sex quiz from your magazine
You're my best friend in the world
Just like me you don't do anything you're told

Unemployed in summertime
I've only just turned 21, I'll be okay
Unemployed in summertime
Don't need money 'cause we're young
I'll just stay awake 'til the morning
With makeup all over my face

On a mission for my summer kiss
I close my eyes and wet my lips
But then I miss
And you laugh at my face

Unemployed in summertime
I've only just turned 21, I'll be okay
Unemployed in summertime
Don't need money 'cause we're young
I'll just stay awake 'til the morning
With makeup all over my face

Unemployed in summertime
I've only just turned 21, I'll be okay

    This totally reminds me of me and my friends in the summer of ( dare I say my age)93. Wow! I'm getting old. 90210 was where it was at.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
