Whiskey drowns your shame
Gaunt leather frame
She looks like royalty
But your taste is so obscene
Bastard makes you gulp
A monkey skip
That hair can jump the queue
You can’t see she’s much too good for you
Empurpled thing, behind the bar
Left your comfort zone, went too far
Still never, forever
Defeated, unneeded
So hopeless, can’t hold this
It’s over, down your West and go
Empurpled thing, behind the bar
Left your comfort zone, went too far
Just hide your fear, the bell is near
Dark corner, nurse your last order
Embarrasing, my underling
All the old boys don’t say a thing
