but couldn't understand what was going on. So I too am watching S1 over again. I just watched the episode where Helly's innie got up on stage and told the audience what it was really like to work on the severed floor. At the end of the episode there was a recording of Mose Allison starting to sing "Your Mind Is on Vacation", but the recording was soon interrupted. Here are the lyrics:

You're sitting there yakkin' right in my face
I guess I'm gonna have to put you in your place
Y'know if silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is
Working overtime
You're quoting figures, you're dropping names
You're telling stories about the dames
You're always laughin' when things ain't funny
You try to sound like you're big money
If talk was criminal, you'd lead a life of crime
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is
Working overtime
You know that life is short and talk is cheap
Don't be making promises that you can't keep
If you don't like the song I'm singing, just grin and
Bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
If you must keep talking please try to make it rhyme
'Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working
Overtime

And here is a performance:

It got better as the season progressed. Do you know if season 2 will be released weekly or all at once? jalan48 Jan 2025 #1
Weekly. Which will be agonizing! Coventina Jan 2025 #4

It is the farthest from garbage. Adam Scott is a great actor, and the rest of the cast is great also. NoRethugFriends Jan 2025 #7
