Kongos - Pay For The Weekend Lyrics






We're gonna pay for the weekend
We're gonna pay for the weekend
We had to go and jump in the deep end
Never ever never, never ever never again

Up Up, Down Down Down
Up Up, Down Down Down

It's cause of the effect yours has on mine
Makes me wanna party like it's 1929

And as the events of the night unfold
One thing always leads to another
We're gonna have to put all our plans on hold
When we run into each other

And now we're gonna pay for the weekend
Pay for the weekend
We're gonna pay for the weekend
Pay for the weekend
We had to go and jump in deep end
Jump in the deep end
Never ever never, never ever never again

Maybe today or maybe tomorrow
Every joy you feel's got a sorrow
After heads tail's gonna follow
Leaves you feeling, feeling hollow

And now we've gone and racked up all this debt
Trying anything to forget
Monday morning comes and you're feeling the pain
You tell yourself never ever never, never ever never again

Maybe today or maybe tomorrow
Every joy you feel's got a sorrow
After heads tail's gonna follow
It leaves you feeling hollow
Leaves you feeling hollow

Up Up, Down Down Down

And now we're gonna pay for the weekend...
Maybe today or maybe tomorrow
Leaves you feeling, feeling hollow

Kongos Pay For The Weekend Comments
  1. F.... A....

    Accidentally get someone pregnant and you'll be paying for the weekend for the rest of your life.

  2. C.... ....

    This usually isn't my kind of music but i love this song

  3. A.... B....

    I am wondering now, is "Party like is 1929" connected with the upcoming new Great Recession? Like, you know, party before the Black Monday in 1929 after which the Great Depression started

  4. J.... A....

    oh man a loved that song its amazing

  5. m.... s....

    good job brothers! keep it up!

  12. h.... ....

    What's with the stupid birds?

  14. G.... R....

    Colombia

  15. b.... m....

    Woot woot!

  16. S.... I....

    I enjoy that Kongos can make about a billion different types of songs, and they all still feel like Kongos. Such a unique style that they can do many things with.

  17. �.... �....

    Greeating from Russian.

  18. I.... T....

    Was 1929 a reference to neutral milk hotel? Who can know

  19. L.... C....

    Love it.

  20. B.... T....

    definitely one of my favorite bands of all time.

  21. M.... X....

    Such a beautiful up beat song

  30. S.... M....

    This made me happier than anything else this week. Thank you!

  31. K.... M....

    Dear lord people, if you don't like the song- then bye-bye! Complaining that they don't have the 'same sound' as the album's before... that's kind of the damn point! People can change, people can learn new things and people can go in a different direction, same goes for a band! Shocking, I know. personally I dig the song and I am thankful that they are still making music.

    K.... M....

    Also, you know the song is going to be awesome at a live show!

    K.... M....

    I so agree, I listen to many many many different generas (however you spell that) and man, I can tell you only a few band change through their music careers and honestly it is pretty cool how they do it because it is hard to and you never really have played if you haven't explored your limits, and talents, you know?

    K.... M....

    I just thought of this and dont get me wrong but your last name is a street name close to were I live, I think it is pretty cool

    K.... M....

    I WILL ALWAYS LOVE KONGOS!! Nothin' wronge with a band experimenting with new & different sounds! They still sound like Kongos to me.💝

  32. C.... ....

    This is really cool!

  33. P.... K....

    I love the kongos the mastred being ironic and not funny

  34. V.... T....

    Неплохо!👍

  35. V.... B....

    Brothers, you are the best!!!

  36. S.... E....

    Hey, I like it!

  37. E.... R....

    Chingon!!

  38. �.... S....

    Russia with you guys, you best!! Давайте парни поднимайтесь выше всех!

    �.... S....

    Михаил Snow can’t wait to return to Russia!

  39. K.... C....

    Anybody else think of the opening of Napoleon Dynamite while watching this music video? 😂

  40. K.... C....

    Can’t wait for the new album in January!

  41. H.... K....

    God! This is incredible! Can't wait for the album!
    Hype as fuuuck!
    Gets even better with every replay!

    H.... K....

    Handsome Kiddo wear it out :)

  42. N.... ....

    Im not sure tha i understood everything in song but i like it

  43. T.... I....

    Love love love it!! <3

  44. S.... A....

    Kongos have completely ruined themselves. The instrumentals once again are over simplistic and they've gotten rid of any attempt at guitar solos or accordion solos, or just really showcasing the band. I know I'll get hate but compared to 'Kongos' and 'Lunatic' this is crap. So so disappointed on this band going commercial.

  45. O.... C....

    Esta genial XD

  46. H.... I....

    I read "I pray for the wicked" (Who got it?) XD

  47. J.... C....

    Good song!

  48. �.... �....

    I definetely feel some young Paul Maccartney vibes on "Maybe today, maybe tomorrow", really greate vocal!

  49. D.... P....

    Something gonna be looped today.

  50. R.... T....

    Without a doubt, another work of art ♥

  51. G.... G....

    Canción de Ptm, no puedo esperar al álbum :'D

    G.... G....

    Gustavo G. Soooon - Jan 18

  52. T.... v....

    Love it! Every song is different and that's what I admire. Not just the same thing over and over again. Really looking forward to the new album!

  53. K.... S....

    Didn't change the sound one bit❤️.. Love you always stick to your South African roots.. Song is 🔥 🔥

  54. L.... C....

    Where's my wig?

  55. M.... P....

    I like the song, but I have to say the video left me feeling disappointed. The song is heavy, but keeps moving, dragging the listener along, PUSHING the listener along. You feel caught up in the song, enveloped by it.


    The video, however, is just...bland.

    M.... P....

    A lyric video and an actual music video are two different things. This is merely just the lyrics video.

  56. P.... M....

    Excellent! I can't wait to see you guys next year!

  57. M.... ....

    Руки пишущий текст. Либо Джонни, либо Дэниела

  58. M.... ....

    ЗАЕБИСЬ!

  59. J.... G....

    Verry cool the name! It matches as a funny and intelligent joke with 'pray for the wicked by Panic! At the Disco!' Genius!

    J.... G....

    I see you're a man of culture like me . ;)

    J.... G....

    @SALYUT Salyut woman* and thank u

    J.... G....

    @Júlia Gomes ok lady :))

  60. K.... S....

    Love it

  61. K.... P....

    I love that you are working with your dad again! This video rocks! The accents from 1929 are great! Keep up the great music! I wish you could add a stop to St. Louis, MO on your tour...would love to see you!

  62. E.... W....

    I loved this one more than i loved Keep your Head, great job ❤️

  63. I.... J....

    This song is fire🔥

  64. E.... J....

    😍😍😍😍

  65. K.... V....

    You're gettin worse than worse by the time

  66. S.... T....

    Hate to say that but none of the new stuff as at the same calibre as any of the older ones...too sad cause I'm a huge of the band

    S.... T....

    @Serkan Tekdemir like this band was one of the most talented groups when the first hit the scene and to see this digression into commercial bland, even messy sounding music is disappointing beyond belief. They have gotten rid of everything that made them who they were

    S.... T....

    as of now.. 19 people agree and 1300 don't ..lol

    S.... T....

    @Jerr Spud yea I mean heroine is really popular right now too. That doesn't mean it's good

    S.... T....

    ​@Sam Ashkenazy that's so original you should write their songs !

    S.... T....

    I feel the same way. I just listened to the 1929 album again and there are not many songs that I find good. In my (!!!) opinion they just aren't good songs. I loved their previous albums, but even egomaniac wasn't all perfect. It's sad but I have to say that I am not a fan anymore

  67. M.... ....

    Good sound. I'll have to watch the video later.

  68. s.... i....

    If you are a true fan you should be here before 100k 🔥🥁

    s.... i....

    yeah, like the last single got 7k views total.

  69. J.... G....

    Cant wait for the album this is gonna be so good

  75. T.... ....

  76. D.... D....

    Oh so good, I knew that you wouldn't give up.

  77. N.... ....

    Ah, another nice music video. Keep up the good work, I loved it!

  78. S.... A....

    Disappointed by the lyrics and vocals, but good otherwise

    S.... A....

    Yeah, this track feels lackluster compared to the rest of their discography, especially their stuff from egomaniac

    S.... A....

    Definitely. They really brought out their unique sound on Egomaniac, and none of their new stuff have really recaptured that.

  79. W.... B....

    Dude I love you guys

  80. w.... t....

    Absolutely awesome!

  81. R.... S....

    Such a cool idea for a lyric video, awesome!
