Another golden coin fed into the machine
It\'s funny how mesmerising watching plastic reels spin can be
Especially when you only ever
hit 2 jackpots out of 3
Why waste your time on love at seventeen?
Theres no one else in the room
I guess it was aimed at me
Or maybe it was one to haunt the barmaid as shes drifting off to sleep
No he\'s looking straight at me through his periphery
I laughed a little on the inside then without skipping a beat
I said Is time we spend in love really ever time wasted?
If that\'s the level of life advice you have in store for me
I really wouldn\'t bother picking up your chin
From the floor of this fucking pub that you\'re always in
The one that only costs you 3 pound a pint
And your second marriage.
Father I think maybe I\'d rather we didn\'t speak
Are words I could never bring myself to repeat
Echoing the voice inside my brain
That compared vocally to yours sounds pretty much the same
Sometimes I wish you could see past that first sip
The one your forever drowning in Infact that\'s a lie it\'s not sometimes it\'s all the time
And times not on our side
I know it\'s not on anyone\'s but you drink from half past nine
It\'s 12 o\'clock somewhere was once funny I can\'t deny
Twenty odd years later it seems to have lost its shine
Funnily enough pretty much like everything you\'ve ever touched oh sorry fuck am I out of line this time? Well I live somewhere inside that statement if you look twice I think you\'ll find.
Ok no we don\'t have to fight i\'ll just get back to sitting here letting you piss it all down the vines..no thank you I wouldn\'t like to join you for another pint..no I don\'t think so not this time.
