Something to Do Lyrics
I took a ride by a police station
It seemed like something to do
I heard a voice saying, "What are you trying to prove?"
I thought about it an hour
I thought about it a minute
And I thought about it for weeks
So in the end, I couldn't decide
Next thing I knew I was out and bound and
On my own again
I looked around to see what I could find
I thought about it an hour
I thought about it a minute
And I thought about it for weeks
So in the end, I couldn't decide
There's a time when your life is full of meaning
That's the time that I'm looking forward to
I thought about it an hour
I thought about it a minute
And I thought about it for weeks
So in the end, I never decide.
It seemed like something to do
I heard a voice saying, "What are you trying to prove?"
I thought about it an hour
I thought about it a minute
And I thought about it for weeks
So in the end, I couldn't decide
On my own again
I looked around to see what I could find
I thought about it an hour
I thought about it a minute
And I thought about it for weeks
So in the end, I couldn't decide
That's the time that I'm looking forward to
I thought about it an hour
I thought about it a minute
And I thought about it for weeks
So in the end, I never decide.

The quintessential song about indecision. (Or is it?)
I thought the end of the refrain was " I thought about it for weeks on end." Either way....
I first heard the song on the Matter of Degrees soudtrack. I was fasctinated by the guitar solo - so sublimely simple. Makes you think that you should learn to play guitar. Turns out it is Georgia (the drummer) playing it.
