Look at that
Expressing admiration or amazement at something.
What a treat
Describing something delightful or enjoyable.
Like winter without any sleet
Comparing a situation to winter without sleet, possibly implying a lack of discomfort or trouble.
It's getting late
Indicating the progression of time, possibly suggesting that time is passing quickly.
But we're still on our feet
Despite the late hour, still being energetic and active.
Let's stay awake so I can hear you speak
Suggesting a desire to stay awake to listen to someone speak.
Look at that

What a shame
Referring to negative qualities associated with someone's name.
So many words follow his name
Many negative words or comments are associated with him.
None of them are complimentary
Implying that the words are not complimentary, suggesting criticism.
None of them are anything but grief
Emphasizing the negativity and sorrow associated with those words.
We make it harder
Acknowledging difficulty and challenges in a situation.
Harder than it needs to be
Suggesting unnecessary difficulty or complications.
But it makes us happy
Despite the difficulty, finding happiness in the situation.
Like happy used to be
Comparing current happiness to a past state of happiness.
The week is long but the strong are the weak
Highlighting the endurance of the strong, even in a long and challenging week.
It's getting late but we're still on our feet
Despite the lateness, still maintaining resilience and energy.
Let's stay awake so I can hear you speak
Expressing a desire to stay awake and engage in conversation.
Let's got to bed but let's not go to sleep
Suggesting going to bed without falling asleep immediately.
Look at that what a shock
Expressing surprise or disbelief at something.
Didn't care if you were ready or not
Indifferent to whether someone is prepared or not.
What a boy
Describing someone with possibly negative traits.
What a fool
Describing someone as a fool.
What a cheat but you can tell that there is love in my deceit
Acknowledging deception but also suggesting love within it.
We make it harder

But it makes us happy

The week is long but the strong are the weak
