I’ve got a story


I’ve got a story
But it’s never been clear
I’ll tell you my story
If you buy me a beer
But the paper is gone
And I don’t think - I can remember it all


I’ve been around
And I’ve rung me a bell
I’ve finished my beer
Now I’m visiting hell
And I’m not sure
If I remember the words that I wanted to say


Pour me reason
As I sleep on the bar
Read my fortune
And I’ll sell you my car
Buy me strings
For my broken guitar
And I guess it’s over
The star has now gone
So I’ll disappear


I’ll sing you a song
If you turn off the lights
The children are sleeping
And I’ve missed my last flight
My pockets are full
With broken notes for an alibi


Love is a danger
But so are the rocks
I’ll have a whisky an ice
And reset the clocks
The cigarette is out
All I have - is the smoke in my eyes?


Pour me reason
As I sleep on the bar
Read my fortune
And I’ll sell you my car
Buy me strings
For my broken guitar
And I guess it’s over
The star has now gone
So I’ll disappear


I have this riddle
Or so I’ve been told
Give me a password
Help crack this code
The fuse is lit
Nobody’s home - they’re all on holiday


Worn these shoes
And they’re causing me pain
I would have carried on walking
But it started to rain
So I need a drink
To help me forget - the direction I’m in


Lost my story
Because I left it out side
I got my reasons
And they can’t be denied
Pour me another
Because it’s here I’ll reside
And I guess it’s over
The star has now gone
So I’ll disappear
