Lyrics

I work in a saloon, pulling shit pints for shit wages
It's a busy night tonight
And the bar is full of all the girls I've ever shagged, or tampered with, or kissed, or even just fancied
A pub full of conquests, knockbacks

Between the laughter I can here my name
And then, through the gap between the swing doors and floor, I see your feet
You push open the doors and walk in
And as always all heads turn
And the room becomse silent, except for the sound or your dm's scuffing on the floor

You stroll through the jealous gaze straight to the bar, smile, and ask for some exotic cocktail
But I don't know how to make it
So you just shrug, smile again, turnaround and leave
And I pull another pint
