about

Prompted after hearing an interview with someone who lives in a van in order to make her music work. But it’s basically about any musician that is putting in the effort, while also questioning their sanity.

lyrics

[Verse]
Sipping tea, thirty-three
Writing home about it
Lives in her car, but can’t go far
She’s got not petrol money

[Verse]
Left her job, office slob
Keyboard muffin crumbs
Couldn’t sell, client hell
Not built for office mumma

[Chorus]
Days and-a weeks
It’s me peak being something other
Days and-a weeks
Feel a freak, should I even bother

[Verse]
Shabby digs, playing gigs
At the country cellar
Going long, writing songs
Up into the AM

[Chorus] x 2
Days and-a weeks
It’s me peak being something other
Days and-a weeks
Feel a freak, should I even bother

[Bridge]
Sometimes I think my life is bleak
You’ll find me here 8 days a week
Sometimes I think my life is bleak
You’ll find me here 8 days a week

[Chorus] x 2
Days and-a weeks
It’s me peak being something other
Days and-a weeks
Feel a freak, should I even bother

[Outro]
In my van / Try my bran / I’m sticking to the plan
