Lyrics
I sleep in late
Another day
Oh what a wonder
Oh what a waste.
It's a monday
It's so mundane
What exciting things
Will happen today?
The yard is full of hard rubbish it's a mess and
I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab
We should ammend that
I pull the sheets back
It's 40 degrees
And i feel like i'm dying.
Life's getting hard in here
So i do some gardening
Anything to take my mind away from where it's sposed to be.
The nice lady next door talks of green beds
And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them
I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps.
Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes.
I feel pro-active
I pull out weeds
All of a sudden
I'm having trouble breathing in.
My hands are shaky
My knees are weak
I can't seem to stand
On my own two feet
I'm breathing but i'm wheezing
Feel like i'm emphysem-in'
My throat feels like a funnel
Filled with weet bix and kerosene and
Oh no, next thing i know
They call up triple o
I'd rather die than owe the hospital
Till I get old
I get adrenalin
Straight to the heart
I feel like Uma Thurman
Post-overdosing kick start
Reminds me of the time
When i was really sick and i
Had too much psuedoefedryn and i
Couldn't sleep at night
Halfway down high street, andy looks ambivalent
He's probably wondering what i'm doing getting in an ambulance
The paramedic thinks i'm clever cos i play guitar
I think she's clever cos she stops people dying
Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic
Should've stayed in bed today
I much prefer the mundane.
I take a hit from
An asthma puffer
I do it wrong
I was never good at smoking bongs.
I'm not that good at breathing in.

[@mikezarzo7483]

Finally, asthma rock. Love it.

[@SuperNevile]

it's called pseudoephedrinia

[@skadibjornsdottir3683]

[@anthonyt3242]

Exactly

[@avantgardener6521]

Yess this song is totally about the day she had an asthma attack, I swear

[@harveygirl95]

[@21Walls]

"The paramedic thinks I'm clever 'cause I play guitar I think she's clever cause she stops people dying" This line cracks me up so much.

[@Chrisdvc26]

+Cleric It's funny but also strangely poignant at the same time

[@miavalente7920]

+Cleric love that line as well. :)

[@anthonybourdainsuperfan1241]

+Cleric Oh my god same, probably one of my favourite lyrics of all time

[@rituales]

+Cleric omg holy shit!!! me too!! after the first times i listened to this song i started to always laugh there without failure haha

[@Chrisdvc26]

+raisedfist80 I'm just picturing her lying there on the stretcher in extreme distress, as the paramedic is trying to console her by casually complimenting her musical abilities, then she replies deadpan: "yeah, but you literally just saved my life." I guess it's the extreme gratitude towards this complete stranger. It also reminds me of a lyric a friend of mine wrote describing a paramedic trying to cheer her up after a suicide attempt...yeah that's probably it.

[@user-kk8mm3zr7g]

This song gives me the vibe of realizing that you are not ok but it’s ok. Meaning you feel the pain but you just went numb or passive about it.

[@WHAATEVEN]

As an autistic person with a lot of anxiety but I’m weirdly relaxed about having a panic attackI relate to this so much

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

For me, it's not metaphorical at all. This song gives me the vibe of being scared shitless. It only takes a few episodes of suddenly difficult breathing to make you that way. Maybe just one.

"The paramedic thinks I'm clever cause I play guitar I think she's clever cause she stops people dying" The most inspiring lyrics ever.

[@Morporkshortman]

and excellent delivery when she says "dying" I die

[@DispinalNotes]

Favorite line in the song

[@NickSBailey]

I noticed that line great way to bat a compliment back lol, there's a strong self-deprecating element to a lot of her songs it's really refreshing, all the big noting and bragging in modern pop is really tedious this is a refreshing anti-dote.

[@fuckyshityfuckshit]

[@campbellrocksagain]

[@Julia-LArt]

I love Courtney, she's such a genuinely lovely person. I saw her over 4 years ago in a tiny local venue and made her a little gift as I was watching her. I shyly gave it to her afterwards, whilst people were getting CD's signed. She asked me what I was doing later that evening and if I wanted to come to her performance at a much bigger venue, also locally. I'd already had plans that night, so I didn't get to go, but I was so touched by her kindness and humility. ❤️

[@johnmiller9953]

Yeah I met her once, I made her a little wooden box and when you open it there's a plasticine model of a ww2 bomber in it with the words 'fuck a dancer, always feel substandard' written in the lid. She asked if i'd like to fuck off. Which I did. One of the best nights of my life.

[@ciarandunne1164]

A nicer lady you couldn't wish to meet. Salt of the earth, you know? Once I saw her passing by my local sweet shop (I was inside)! I know, crazy, right? What the hell was she doing in my shithole of a town? Anyway, I wasted no time at all as I was fully aware that this rare occurence may never happan again, so I grabbed a twix bar and ran up to her and asked her to accept it as a token of appreciation for the relevance of her lyrics and how they have helped me to make sense of my life. Needless to say she took the twix bar from my hand and smiled at me. Best day of my life by far! Each time I visit my local weet shop, she's in my head!

It's 2020 and my teenage daughter turned me on to this song. I originally wanted to learn more about the music she enjoyed as I did growing up. Honestly, this song helps me personally get through the day sometimes.

[@daledude66]

[@1LIFEtoWIN]

+Dale S There is rhyming though, are you referring to the slant rhymes? Or the rhythmic type of singing?

[@darrylrendell7721]

[@shehannanayakkara4162]

'The paramedic thinks I'm clever cos I play guitar. I think she's clever cos she stops people dying.' Best bit of the song lol.

[@MartaDaydreamer]

this song is a mix between depression and anxiety

[@GeminiPlatypus]

[@applescruff1969]

[@thezvoid1657]

I was looking for your comment hahaha

[@_Cato_]

Nils Waage I don't know if using a Bob Dylan-lookalike was intentional but I feel that it fits. Courtney's music is a bit of a spiritual successor to Mr. Dylan, IMO.

[@nilswaage7626]

Isiskos Completely agree! Barnett is amazing, much like early Dylan

"I sat with my high-heeled sneakers on, waiting to play tennis in the noonday sun. I had my white shorts rolled up past my waist, and my wig-hat falling in my face. But they wouldn't let me on the tennis court". “I Shall Be Free No. 10” ~ “Another Side Of Bob Dylan” (1964).........................probably not intentional. :-)

Her voice and expression resonate deeply within in me. It touches a despair I feel and that I think many people do. She wears it so freely, without putting a mask on to hide her pain. Thank you! Not everything is sunshine and roses. Pain does exist, and there's nothing wrong with it.

I stumbled across this not long after it came out, and saw her on one of her first UK shows back in 2014 at a really small gig. Hung out briefly after the show, she put me on to King Gizzard and some other Aussie groups who were unheard of here at the time. Listened to her EPs a lot when I was just driving round as a 20 year old to work and slightly melancholic. Caught her on her next tour a year later in a different city and she remembered me, Bones and Dave as well. Cool guys, thanks for soundtracking part my early 20s, eternally grateful

Someone who plays guitar is important to the paramedic, as much as the paramedic is to the guitar player.

I heard this song the other afternoon on the radio (1st time) and I fell in love with it- She's terrific! Gotta hear more from her. Thanks for posting this.

"It's forty degrees." This lyric is totally different when you realize she means Celsius.

[@JackJuni]

Celsius is the normal unit for temperature

Thank you, SNL for introducing this Midwestern American to the music of Courtney Barnett. I. Love. Her. Music.

[@imnotmakingvideosrry]

this song is best with headphones, really loud, riding a bus at nighttime

"The paramedic thinks I'm clever 'cause I play guitar. I think she's clever 'cause she stops people dying". This song always brings a smile :)

"I feel like Uma Thurman post-overdose and kickstart." LOVE IT!!!

[@skeemag]

one of them tunes that come out of nowhere, love it

[@joesikic6531]

Beautiful poetry and music

[@Tibbieman1]

I'm 61 y.o, so, I've never heard of her. I saw that she'll be the guest on SNL tonight. So ! was curious. Since I haven't liked music since Dan Folelberg diedI was expecting not to like her.But I actually do!

[@cheongyei]

+John Mc Aleese Yep, I normally crash before SNL, but I'll stay up to catch her. Nice young talent!

[@asgilb]

I was kinda hoping that was a joke

[@Tibbieman1]

Wait till you guys get to 61. the world passes you by, but it's just how it goes.

[@angietorreano7508]

I find it really funny how the same music can be enjoyed by any she group, I'm only 14.

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

John Mc Aleese I love how music can connect people from all ages. Hard to relate to anything with a 61 year old when you’re 16, but here we are.

[@Chrisdvc26]

I've listened to this song at least 1000 times. Lyrics, music, delivery: perfect. Brava

[@leoeveee]

Bojack got me to this, what a lovely song!

[@murdoc6501]

Just joy every time I hear this. Thank you.

Slim Jimmity hehe yeah, I was kidding though. Booze seldom works for me when I'm down

Don't drink to feel better; drink to feel *even* better

[@lysergiclarry3470]

listening to this song is the best possible way to experience a 5 minute and 20 second time interval

[@petahzor]

legit been searching this song and listening to it everyday for almost a month now, saaaah goooodd

[@vodka9190]

One of my favorites.

[@bigbakaboon]

Was on NPR today. Good find. I also lol'd at "I'd rather die than owe the hospital till i get old." I've actually said that before. But you shouldn't have that problem, You're Australian!

[@loklan1]

You have to pay for ambulances unless you have the insurance for it in Australia. I once caught a taxi to the emergency department to avoid this haha. Once you get to the hospital it's free though so it's still pretty awesome.

BoJack Horseman season 2... what an ending.

[@campam999]

Startug couldn't even, absolutely epic

[@Life_and_Gaming]

It gets easier. Every day, it gets easier. But you gotta do it every day, that's the hard part.

[@milokt5391]

Life and Gaming "Okay."

[@mandyisdandy101]

Startug I almost thought it was Alison Brie singing this song. That woulda been awesome, but this song is so amazing anyways.

[@dcord17]

Jason Beghe voice at the end, ex-scientologist perfect way to end it

[@roseyposey2099]

I just listened to the beginning and I love it already

I grew up with Polly jean Harvey throughout the 90’s/2000’s but today I have this amazing women! And she’s Aussie to boot!
