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.
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
I don't want her to break my window
Hey, girl, you not very nice
You don't even know how to tie your own shoe-es
I said to you, "How to tie a shoe?"
You said you didn't know so you wear the velcro
I gave you fifty cents to go to the store
You supposed to spend twenty but you spend more
Said give me five, but you only gave me four
Because you said your thumb got chopp-ed in four
No it did not, you lie about everything!
Don't think I don't know about the sandwich
You made me say "Daimitt!" because you took it to Kansas
You said you ate it, but you're doing me damage!
Now it's off to sell a fifty foot spandage
Because I'm stressed off by your lady bandit
You look like a mikrowave yes I think so
And I don't want you to break my window!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
I don't want her to break my window
Hey, lady! You're not very neat
You come in my appartment you don't washing your feet
You run into cans when you go on the stritt
And you told me that you one time did a math test
If you want to saix me you have to be goode at math
You're nott goode at math and you say "Look at that!"
A little kaid kicked you and I don't give a crap
Forcing with the president to cry and laugh
What if I did and my chicken had gas?
You kicked his face from here to Arkansas
Forgetting all my haim and you ruined my slice
New pair of sandals dropped to the trash!
You not dispute this football joke
Because you grabb-ed baseball and forgot to throw
Tried to make my little brother not to grow
And I don't want you to break my window!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
I don't want her to break my window
And now... shladies expose your crowtche...
For the king of Africa, Danny Advantage
You need a girl that epitomize peace no peas
Not iminitize tees to the size of trees
Sells with her bad trees inbetween my knees
She H-E-A-D (Swallows, ladies)
And tastes my pralines
Who fears I don't scream (Hope I scream)
My regime in between it's where it's clean, it's less mean
If you's first it's clean
If you swing, let's see rehearsing
Girls bring first and they're clean so
Bad girls so divine hide behind the line
The woman tries mine while I improvise
So why? You can visualize something nice
Slide fly by nightride at night to see you laying in the sky
No (no!) No (no!)
Besides, you have been with too many guys
No (no!) No... Bad girl!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
I don't want her to break my window
Hey, girl, you not very nice
You don't even know how to tie your own shoe-es
I said to you, "How to tie a shoe?"
You said you didn't know so you wear the velcro

You supposed to spend twenty but you spend more
Said give me five, but you only gave me four

Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!
Good girl yes, bad girl no!

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
