lyrics

Walking through these late night streets
Stagger side to side trying to find my feet
Saw a light in a darkened door
Knew I could get a little bit more
Stumbled in to see the sights
Any sign of life to extend this night
One lone figure behind the bar
From the look in his eye I thought I wouldn’t get far

So I said
Hey Jack pass the bottle round
I need to get my feet back off the ground
Create a room inside my head
To go with the flow and be easily led
Hey Jack please accept my cash
Even though my behaviour’s a tad on the rash
A taste of wet will do me good
Though I admit…more than it should
Hey Jack don’t refuse me now
I have to jump through hoops show me how
My only other choice is to head back home
To an empty bed…I’d prefer to roam

He looked at me with a glint
I wondered if I should take a hint
Tried to see what was on his mind
A smile passed his lips so I returned in kind

He said ‘good sir won’t you make your choice’
Pointed at his wares…from the tone of his voice
A nervousness grew inside my head
But I didn’t run…I sat down instead

And I said…….. chorus

I looked at the bottles in front of me
Nodded at one…said ‘straight JD’
He filled the glass I drained it quick
The room started spinning….the air grew thick

He gave a chuckle as I hit the floor
Said ‘you’ve had your fill. I can give no more’
‘but I’ll take my fee…help myself’
I heard the clink of bottles back on the shelf

I woke up in my empty bed
Lost three days and gained a hole in my head
Vowed to myself I wouldn’t do it again
But if I find the bar I’ll be the one to blame

Coz I’ll say……Chorus
