Lyrics

Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules
Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
I had another drink
(Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink, ah)
What a way to spend that evening
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
But in the scene I should've been
Far away
(Away - away - away - away - away)
Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
The telephone rings and someone speaks
She would very much like to go out to a show
So what can I do? I can't think what to say
She sees through anyway
(Away - away - away - away - away)
Out of the front door I go
Traffic's moving rather slow
Arriving late, there she waits
Looking very angry, as cross as she can be
Be - a - be - a - be - a - be - a - be
Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
Ah, Ah
