First time, I did it for the hell of it
Stuck it on the back of my tongue and then swallowed it
Second time, things are getting easier
Blow me down this wind is getting breezier
Third time lucky, maybe feeling fuzzy
Oh my God! We're getting hippy-dippy!
Five, six, seven, man I'm in heaven
And I'm growing my beard before it gets sheared

You're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind (X2)

First time, I did it for the hell of it
Stuck it right up but that was the end of it
Second time, things are getting easier
Hairs on the back of my neck are getting stickier
Third time unlucky, perversely bloody
Doctor I'm ill please pass me the brandy
Five, six, seven I heard George Foreman say
"Slow horses loose, fast women frighten"

You're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind (X2)

I just keep repeating myself (X6)

Aaah yeah, coz you're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind
You're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind
You're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind

Quote (1) (Gruff):
"There's a quote in it from George Foreman. He was asked, 'What did you spend all your money on?', and he said 'Slow horses and fast women.' It's about the downside. There's too many songs celebrating the upside of sex and drugs. Wine, sorry. There's a lot of trauma to be had by shagging and wine. If you drink loads of wine, you keep on repeating yourself, and if you shag a lot, you repeat yourself. Some sexual experiences are blissful, some are traumatic."
Quote (2) (Gruff):
"At the time I was completely obsessed by The Move and ELO and I was trying to perfect my Brummie accent. I was interested in all those Brummie bands. The song came to me on the train from Cardiff to Gloucester on one of those slow trains as I was probably going to Birmingham to feel the vibes. The lyrics are quite George Foreman coz they asked him where all his money had gone and he said "Slow horses and fast women". It's about losing your mind."

Notes:
*This is the single version of Something For The Weekend which is performed at a slower pace and is retitled Something 4 The Weekend. This single version also appears on the US version of Fuzzy Logic in place of the original track. Some of the lines are repeated in the background in this version but I decided to list it as the same song with the same lyrics. In the first quote above, Gruff is trying to persuade an interviewer that the song is about wine tasting!
