lyrics

I played the fool and once again I woke up with a face full of cotton wool
And am I dreaming or did I…
Did I call you again? Did I try to make friends?
Cos I can’t remember very much past 10 and,
Who’s this stranger lying next to me?
I’m sorry there love but if it’s all the same,
Could I ask you some things including your name?
And how and when and where did we meet?
I’m sorry I don’t normally do this,
Sleep with a stranger when I’m pissed,
But I’m going through a very hard time now,
That girl just turned around and shot me down…

The more I drink the more that girl looks like you
And I’m sorry love but I don’t know what else to do,
It’s the same story again, but booze takes away the pain.
This hell won’t seem to pass,
So I’ll find salvation in the bottom of this pint glass.

I’m out of luck, I get to the pub and I press self-destruct
And what have I got left to go home to?
I know I’m being melodramatic, but it’s hard to be pragmatic,
When you’re face down in a pool of tequila,
I’d love to hold her one more time…
For the moment I’m happy where I am,
Toilet in my arms…

I know I’m lost, but I don’t mind,
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Self-serving song, indulgence is key,
Written for no one else but me.
She was everything I wanted…
And the search goes on tomorrow, but now I’ll sing a song of sorrow,
The song that’s been sung time and again
By a lost, abused, obsessive compulsive and used,
Alcoholic loser with no friends…
