Lyrics

"Let me empty my head"
Were the words that she said
A look of cold dread
Was upon her
"Please sit yourself down.
Let me buy you a brown.
When you're finished you're bound
To be fonder."
I ordered a round
And we swallowed it down.
She smiled as I clowned
For her pleasure.
I offered a toast
"To the love I love most."
And I ordered again
For good measure.

When this one had came
We did nearly the same
But she called my name,
Grabbed my attention
My head felt a rush
As she spoke in a hush:
"There's a thing I've been
Meaning to mention.

I'm filled up with fear."
I said, "You're battered with beer.
You can't see things too clear
And you know it.
Get it all off your chest
And you let your mind rest.
It'll be for the best
So don't blow it."

"The room's grown a blur."
To this I had to concur
And I wasn't so sure
Of her feelings.
Her voice became weak
As if trying to speak
Of a bitter thing
She'd been concealing.

"It's a sham, it's a lie."
All these words she did cry
And I couldn't deny
It had ended
I finished my drink
And though I tried not to think
I lamented the love
We pretended.
