Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

On Wednesday, I went to see The Wombats. At the time of writing, I’ve not been yet but I’m very much looking forward to it. Here’s one of my favourite tracks by the Wombats – see if you can spot why!

The Wombats: Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want To Come

One, two, three, yeah

Summer sun making summer sweat
Sunflowers on your sundress
I’m aware that I’m the problem
But that doesn’t solve the problem
And your heaven might be a hell
Am I insufferable? I can’t tell
Feels like I’m making it a problem
Feels like I’m never gonna solve them

Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want to come
It’s not that I hate you, I just hate everyone
I don’t want to socialise unless I’m getting numb
Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want to come

I’m only hearing every other word
Your life story’s not of my concern
How ’bout we talk about me now?
How ’bout you let me go free now?
And the earth keeps spinning ’round
And I should’ve learnt by now
That I was never at the center
But fuck that, I won’t surrender

Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want to come
It’s not that I hate you, I just hate everyone
I don’t want to socialise unless I’m getting numb
Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want to come

Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na

sorry I’m late I didn’t want to come
(Na-na-na, na-na-na) it’s not that I hate you, I just hate everyone
(Na-na-na, na-na-na) sorry I’m late I didn’t want to come
(Na-na-na, na-na-na) it’s not that I hate you, I just hate everyone

sorry I’m late I didn’t want to come
(Na-na-na, na-na-na) it’s not that I hate you, I just hate everyone

Songwriters: Matthew Edward Murphy / Jorgen Michael Odegard
