lyrics

Plays in a pretty puddle of
reflective shattered hues
cuts rivers into her feet
too young to refuse
now swelling, sodden, pale and bare
each step she take reawakes the ripples hidden there

Oooh oooh
it's the end of a very long week
oooh oooh
it's the end of a very long week
oooooo ooh oh
it's the end of a very long week
oooh oooh it's the end of a very long week

A lonely gumboot lies wanting
perched on the stonecold ledge
drenched to the tip with the constant drip
from a flower on a nearby hedge
somehow you just don't get it
somehow you're unaware
of the life that leakes from the sole of this boot
each time you leave it there

Oooh oooh
it's the end of a very long week
oooh oooh
it's the end of a very long week
oooooo ooh oh
it's the end of a very long week
oooh oooh it's the end of a very long week

You're thinking is thrilling me
like a ricochet
like a popsicle in my mouth
at the end of a dry day
what dizzy stream of thought does await
do I even want to
can I bare to stay

Oooh oooh
it's the end of a very long week
oooh oooh
it's the end of a very long week
oooooo ooh oh
it's the end of a very long week
oooh oooh it's the end of a very long week
