The Weight (feat. The Kooks, Paolo Nutini and Wolfmother)
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need find a place where I can rest my head.
"Hey, mister, will you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and (and)
Put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I got to go, but my friend can stick around."
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and (and)
You put the load on me.
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke is waitin' on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favour, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and (and)
You put the load on me
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I'll fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and (and)
You put the load on me.
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and (and)
You put the load on me.
