lyrics

Sitting in a Bar

Well I’m sitting in a bar doing lift home deals
With the last two drinkers in a skirt and high heels
One of them’s a girl, the other one I’m not so sure
One of them’s on acid
The other one’s screaming in baby talk
And as I dream
There’s a cold grey Saturday
Comin’ in under the door

Well I’ve been travelling all week
Boiling a bone
Shaving the numbers
Working alone
Any game these days is better than no game at all
Anything for mone, a drink a feed
Anything to know I can get what I need
When I’m walkin’ around in the cool of a small town mail
When I slip out the cashcard and jam it in the wailing wall

Friday being Friday
And the world being young
I had the usual bender in mind
A wet week’s end
In a club
With a casual friend

We chatted up the doorman to see what was on
She followed me in, so I tagged along
Some hours later, she’s gone
I’m makin’ eyes at the floor
Sitting in a bar doing lift home deals
With the last two drinkers in a skirt and high heels
There’s a cold grey Saturday comin’ in under the door

I had a feed around midnight
For the man on the run
Now it’s half past five
And I’m in this dive
I can feel that meal
And it’s comin’ alive

And I’m sitting in a bar doing lift home deals
With the last two drinkers in a skirt and high heels
One of them’s a girl, the other I’m not so sure
One of them’s on acid
The other one’s screaming
In baby talk
And everybody’s walkin’ like a duck
In the daylight
Comin’ in under the door

There’s a cold grey Saturday comin’ in under the door
