Lyrics for One Week as interpreted by ojms

One Week Lyrics
It’s been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side
and said I’m angry
Five days since you laughed at me saying
Get that together come back and see me
Three days since the living room,
I realized it’s all my fault, but couldn’t tell you
Yesterday you’d forgiven me
But it’ll still be two days till I say I’m sorry

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You’ll think you’re looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish,
Although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
‘Cause it’s never touched a frying pan

Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like Leann Rimes
Because I’m all about value
Bert Kaempfert’s got the mad hits
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through

Gonna make a break and take a fake
I’d like a stinkin, achin shake
I like vanilla, It’s the finest of the flavors
Gotta see the show,
Cause then you’ll know
The Vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it’s so dangerous,
You’ll have to sign a waiver

How can I help it if I think you’re funny when you’re mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I’m the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can’t understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

It’s been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said you’re crazy
Five days since you tackled me
I’ve still got the rug burns on both my knees
It’s been three days since the afternoon
You realized it’s not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you’d forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you’re sorry

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin’
Watchin X-Files with no lights on,
We’re dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man ’s in this one
Like Harrison Ford I’m getting Frantic
Like Sting I’m Tantric
Like Snickers , guaranteed to satisfy

Like Kurosawa I make mad films
Okay I don’t make films
But if I did they’d have a samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren’t always flying off the backswing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

How can I help it if I think you’re funny when you’re mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I’m the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can’t understand what I mean?
You soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt

It’s been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said I’m sorry
Five days since I laughed at you and said
You just did just what I thought you were gonna do
Three days since the living room
We realized we’re both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it’ll still be two days till we say we’re sorry

It’ll still be two days till we say we’re sorry
It’ll still be two days till we say we’re sorry
Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie

trying to relate the rap verses with the rest of the song makes no sense. they were trying to come up with something to put in there, when Steve suggested to Ed that he freestyle in front of a camera, so it's not like Ed wrote the rap part to relate to the rest of the song at all. But then again, it is interesting that you guys could figure that out.

I hate hate hate this song. And BNL is my favourite band.... It just drives me nuts because it's pretty brilliant. But I still hate it. But I LOVE the reference to it in 'Testing 1, 2, 3"

"i'm the kinda guy that laughs at a funeral,
can't understand what i mean?
well you soon will..."

Does no one else think that is the best quote of the whole song? it is so....true.

Barenaked Ladies actually said that the chorus was about relationships and the verses were literally random stuff they improved one day because they had NO clue what to sing. ;)

HAH! I just wrote an analytical essay about Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" for my Shakespeare class. My brain was melting and this song made me feel better...damn samurai...

I think its basically a guy saying he knows that its gonna take a while to get over this fight they've had, and he knows its his fault, but he can't stop messing around, he does these really stupid things, he's a really random bloke and he knows that because of this, if he said sorry, she'd think he was just dicking about, because he can never take anything seriously on the surface, but deep down, he does takeit seriously and he knows hes wrong

I think this song is so fun (and funny)! Haha..It makes almost no sense...
It's just about his relationship with his girlfriend: They fight all the time, and there's a schedule followed with the breaking up, making up, and everything in between! :)
