Drunk girls
Drunk girls
Drunk girls
Drunk girls

Drunk girls
Drunk girls cause a couple of heart attacks
Drunk girls
Drunk girls are unusually mild
Drunk boys
Drunk boys keep in pace with the pedophiles
Drunk girls
Drunk girls are boringly wild

Drunk girls
Drunk girls get invitations from nations
Drunk girls
They got the patience of a millions of saints
Drunk boys
They steal, they steal from the cupboards
Drunk girls
Drunk girls like to file complaints

Drunk girls
Drunk girls are like a night of simplicity
Drunk girls
They need a lover who is smarter than me
Drunk boys
Drunk boys, we walk like pedestrians
Drunk girls
Drunk girls wait an hour to pee

Drunk girls
Drunk girls know that love is an astronaut
Drunk girls
It comes back, but it's never the same
Drunk boys
Drunk boys, drunk boys, drunk boys, drunk boys
Drunk girls can be just as insane

Oh, oh, oh
I believe in waking up together
So, oh, oh
That means making eyes across the room

Drunk girls
Just 'cause I'm shallow doesn't mean that I'm heartless
Drunk girls
Just 'cause I'm heartless doesn't mean that I'm mean
Drunk boys
Sometimes love gives us too many options
Drunk girls
Just 'cause you're hungry doesn't mean that you're lean

Drunk girls
I've heard lies that could curdle your heartstrings
Drunk girls
A couple truths, maybe burn out your eyes
Drunk boys
Drunk boys leave their irons in the fireplace
Drunk girls
'Cause drunk girls give them too many tries

Drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls
Drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls
Drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls
Drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls

Oh, oh, oh
I believe in waking up together
Oh, oh, oh
I believe I'm waking up, but no promises
Oh, oh, oh
I believe in waiting out the weather
Oh, oh, oh
I believe in making up

The day becomes the night
The day becomes the night
The day becomes the night
The day becomes the night

Honestly, honestly, honestly
Unless it hurts, why do it?

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh

General CommentI think this song is about the obvious: drunk girls. But I think it's more interesting that he goes a bit deeper than that. I think its about drunkness reflecting true human nature instead of people conforming to social norms. For example when he says "Just 'cause I'm shallow doesn't mean that I'm heartless", I think he is saying that just because hes going after attractiveness doesn't mean hes a bad person. He then follows that up with "Just 'cause I'm heartless doesn't mean that I'm mean" is referencing that even though he may be heartless in terms of not wanting a relationship with the women he is fraternizing with, he isn't being mean, as both parties (drunk girl and himself) want the physical release that comes with, for lack of a better term, hooking up.

General Commentit sounds more like "drunk girls are abhorrently wild," than "drunk girls are boringly wild".

I agree that is sounds like "abhorrently wild." I also feel like the line makes the most sense with "abhorrently" in there.

General CommentReminds me of "The Girls Want to Be with the Girls" by Talking Heads for obvious reasons.

General CommentI believe it's "Drunk girls know that love is an astronaut," not asterisk

Sounds like "I believe I'm waking up, but no promises"

Other than those, very nice job. Awesome song, I hope the new album is as good as his first two

I definitely think you are right when I re-listened to it, which is kind of sad, as I really liked the idea of "love is an asterisk." Oh well.
_hideandseekon April 07, 2010

I have no idea what "love is an astronaut" means. I still think it is "love is an asterisk." It is such a great line.
lilblig7on April 14, 2010

It's definitely "Drunk girls know that love is an astronaut. It comes back, but it's never the same."

Love is an asterisk is also a great line, but you'll have to be the one to write that song...
ScribnerVillageon April 20, 2010

I was dissapointed at first when I realized it was "astronaut" not "asterisk" but I'm ok with it now, its still a pretty good line
blindparadoxon April 22, 2010

When you pair that line up with the one following it, then "astronaut" makes waaaaay more sense.

It doesn't even sound like asterisk. You guys need to check yo speakuhs.

General CommentTwo things:

1. During the chorus of "drunk boys" after : it comes back, but it's never the same, I think he sings: drunk boys love such women for free

2. At the end, I think it goes: "just be honest with me, honestly, honestly," instead of just three honestly's, but I could be mishearing it. The whole section is a mess without knowing the words before hand, so kudos on picking out the "unless" line.

I think we can safely say that James Murphy's lyrics in general are a mess if you do not know them beforehand, haha. I have spent the last few hours doing the rest of the album, and I seriously just want to ask him if he knows what consonants actually are.

Now that you mention it, I think there are words before the "honestly"s, but I think he might be saying "tell me honestly, honestly, honestly," and the first one is just "honest-ly" with the syllables separated and some emphasis on the "t." I honestly (pun intended, of course) have no idea, though.

Song MeaningHaha I think the line "drunk boys, we walk like pedestrians" is talking about how when guys are drunk and have their mind set on something they do like a ridiculous "serious walk" across the room thats kind of like a fast walk you would do on a street

"Drunk girls are boringly wild"
^ This is so true. pretty self explanatory but drunk girls are always predictably saying "oh my god! i love to party! i'm so drunk!" but never actually do anything exciting

Lyric CorrectionThe last bit before the Heys goes:

"Just be honest with me, honestly, honestly; unless it hurts my feelings."

Perfectly describes the culture this song describes :)
