Wine in the Afternoon Lyrics
So this is summer
And the Calor gas is running low
But I don't mind
I'm doing things and doing them with you
Well you know he's gonna
want his rent tonight
But we'll have to tell him
Haddows swallowed all the rent this month
So summer stains
a sky with inky swirls
that bring the thunder low
But I don't mind,
I'm doing things and doing them with you
And if you're smart you'll put that book back down
You'll drag me to the floor,
drag me down for more
Drinking wine
Drinking wine in the afternoon
Doot doot n doo
Drinking wine
Drinking wine in the afternoon
Doot doot n doo
Tomorrow's Thursday
That's my day of work
That's my day of walking up the
Maryhill road making up
Some lie about some job applied for
When I've been drinking wine
Oh I've been drinking wine in the afternoon
Doot doot n doo
Fifty regal filters left their filthy butts behind
Left their blackened heads down in the ashes
That's the last before
They're pulled apart and placed within the papers
for a drag
A fag deserves a second life
Deserves a second life
Don't we all
Don't we all
Don't we all
Don't we all
Love drinking wine
Love drinking wine in the afternoon
Love drinking wine
Love drinking wine in the afternoon
Bottle of wine, bottle of wine...
And the Calor gas is running low
But I don't mind
I'm doing things and doing them with you
want his rent tonight
But we'll have to tell him
Haddows swallowed all the rent this month
a sky with inky swirls
that bring the thunder low
But I don't mind,
I'm doing things and doing them with you
You'll drag me to the floor,
drag me down for more
Drinking wine in the afternoon
Doot doot n doo
Drinking wine
Drinking wine in the afternoon
Doot doot n doo
That's my day of work
That's my day of walking up the
Maryhill road making up
Some lie about some job applied for
Oh I've been drinking wine in the afternoon
Doot doot n doo
Left their blackened heads down in the ashes
That's the last before
They're pulled apart and placed within the papers
for a drag
A fag deserves a second life
Deserves a second life
Don't we all
Don't we all
Don't we all
Don't we all
Love drinking wine in the afternoon
Love drinking wine
Love drinking wine in the afternoon

This was wriiten in australia i think or down there anyway. Cool song and cool video, its about sciving school or work and drinkin wine in the afternoon instead.
this song fucking owns.
It's so pretty. And really old-y - you could convince yourself it was made about 40 years ago or so...weird. wonderful though
erm. i was really stupid and wrote down notes about the song.
anyhow, the lyrics are almost accurate.
actually ganz108, it was written in Brazil, with other songs.
i reallly like this song
i love this song. it sounds different from a lot of franz ferdinand ones but that is okay. the video is really sweet.
The sillyness of the doo doo part is so great. What a great song sung by a great voice. I have 'Eleanor...' & 'You Could Have It...' and this song definitely sounds different from others, but variety is the spice of life. All songs SHOULD be different, for crissake.
the song was recorded in brazil, but probably written somewhere else.
The best song by this band. All about skipping out on responsibility & having fun. What's Haddows, a brand of wine?
Best song from Franz in my opinion, next to The Fallen, Walk Away, This Fire...and actually, nevermind, I love all of Franz's songs. =P
