Discover the story of the song > Something for the Weekend – The Divine Comedy

The song is about a conversation between a man and his partner about a strange noise coming from the woodshed. The man denies that there is anything there, but the woman insists she has seen something. The chorus repeats that there is something urging the man to come clean and admit he is not who he says he is, and that there is something sexual in his genes that is meant for the weekend. The bridge suggests that the woman is willing to exchange sexual favors if the man goes to the woodshed and finds nothing there, but the outcome is not clear. The song ends with the man being attacked and robbed while investigating the woodshed.
