Piss it all down the vines

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.
