Songs for the Exhausted is the fourth full-length studio album by Austrian indie-band Naked Lunch. It was received with critical praise in Germany and Austria and sold surprisingly well. It was the band's first album after a five year-hiatus, following the flopping of Love Junkies, which caused them being dropped by their record label. Recorded in the wake of this backslashing event, most of the songs are dominated by a sad, bleak tone. Also, one of the songs, "King George" was written about the death of the group ex-bass player, Georg Timber-Trattnig.
The album was followed by several tours and an EP (Stay), in 2005.
