Lazy Sunday
Groove Through Lazy Sundays: Small Faces' Musical Escape
Lyrics
Wouldn't it be nice to get on wiv me neighbors
Expressing a desire to have a good relationship with neighbors
But they make it very clear they've got no room for ravers
Neighbors are unwelcoming or intolerant of lively people (ravers)
They stop me from groovin' they bang on me wall
Neighbors prevent the speaker from enjoying music (groovin') by banging on the wall
They're doin' me crust in it's no good at all
The situation is frustrating and irritating
Lazy Sunday afternoon
Describing a relaxed, leisurely Sunday afternoon
I've got no mind to worry
Feeling carefree, no inclination to worry
Close my eyes and drift away
Intending to mentally wander or daydream
Close my eyes and drift away
Repeating the desire to mentally drift away
Here we all are sittin' in a rainbow
Group of people enjoying themselves (sittin' in a rainbow)
Cor blimey hallo Missus Jones
Informal greeting to Mrs. Jones
How's your Berts lombago?
Asking about Mrs. Jones' husband's back pain (lombago)
I'll sing you a song with no words and no tune
Offering to sing a song without lyrics or melody
I'll sing at your party while you suss out the moon oh yeah!
Willing to entertain at a party while guests admire the moon
Lazy Sunday afternoon
Reiterating a lazy Sunday afternoon
I got no mind to worry
Not bothered or concerned
Close my eyes and drift away
Repeating the desire to drift away mentally
Close my eyes and drift away
Emphasizing the intention to daydream or mentally escape
Close my eyes and drift away
Continuing the emphasis on mental drifting away
A-roo de do de do
Non-lexical vocalization, expressing a carefree attitude
A-roo de do de doi doi!
Continuation of non-lexical vocalization, adding to the carefree atmosphere
there's no one to see me there's nothin' to say
Alone and undisturbed, free to feel a certain way
And no one can stop me from feelin' this way
Asserting independence, no one can hinder the current state of mind
Lazy Sunday afternoon
Repetition of the relaxed Sunday afternoon
I've got no mind to worry
Similar to line 7, indicating a lack of worry or concern
Close my eyes and drift away
Repeating the desire to mentally drift away
Close my eyes and drift away
Reiterating the intention to mentally escape
close my eyes and drift away
Emphasizing the desire to mentally drift away once more
