lyrics

This is the song for the 4am alcoholics with a beer and beard and an extra couple of pounds in weight we’ll call it comfort drinking. Oh the final dance of the bedroom poet she’s not worth it and you’ll find out that eventually stop writing about dying she’s not gonna appreciate your heroics and you’re gonna be pissed off when you see her parading around town with her latest victim on arm oh so gutted oh so gutted.
Cries into his plastic cup, writes down a thought or 2 says I need her in my life where’d you get to be so bloody cruel
We go one way two ways forwards and back to the start I’ll meet you in the shed my friend we’ll drink ourselves to oblivion that’s what broken men do time and time again my dear. By the way you broke my good friends heart how could you because he needs you.
And she thinks she’s really fucking smart cos she’s reading bloody Roland barthes I bet she doesn’t even understand a word he’s saying anyway and by the way stop writing aboutyour broken heart because it was detuned right from the start oh booze is the cure for my good friends heart and tonight he’s drowning.
And he thinks she’s dressed up like a tart for her new man oh where’s her heart he doesn’t need her anymore so he pours himself a double scotch thinks of England and the boys at work cos the one thing they can never touch is our football cos they’ve never cried over an England match oh never fuck em and he thinks that she’s a bloody whore but everday he misse4s her a little more he wants to go back 4 months before of the last time that she said I love you.
