Rare Auld Time
|
Morning broke and I awoke, Sunlight streaming through my window Chasing those sweet dreams out from my head With a brew and a smoke and on with me coat It`s off to run that race again There must be something else to do instead All the clocks go slow til the whistle blows That homebound train is coming for me The booze and the T.V. help to pass the time Ah but I don`t mind walking the line The weekend`s nearer all the time Those two short days of freedom will soon be mine. CHORUS Did we have a time ? We had a rare old time! Both of us just feeling fine Could not find a greater state of mind Oh did we have a time ? We had a rare old time ! Dancing, Laughing, Drinking wine Could not be more happy if we tried
Good Friday comes round every week It`s off to chase those thrills I seek It`s Party Night in every single bar The week`s been a shitty one but here comes a pretty one Driftin` across the smokey room Shining out just like a midnight star Well we wanna get it on but the band`s coming on It`s time to dance and sing along Shake away those cares and strives of ours So we jump to the left and we swing to the right Sing and dance for half the night Then we`ll all sit round and have another jar CHORUS Saturday comes and we wanna have fun We`d better make an early start Before we check the match down on the park Win or lose we`ll be lighting the fuse, charging up our energies To drive us through the night when it gets dark So we go from pub to pub Til there`s no more left so we hit a club Drinking like it`s going out of style So the nigth rolls on and on Until the first bright light of morning comes At last we get our heads down for a while CHORUS Sunday never starts til noon And sometimes even that`s too soon To wipe the bleary cobwebs from my eyes But my head`s still here and as it starts to clear And memory comes flooding back I didn`t really do all that did I Well I don`t care what people think Tonight I`m gonna do the same again There`s no point ever doing things by halves So it all goes round and round Not standing up for falling down Basically just getting nowhere fast CHORUS (Why do all my songs tend to be 13 page epics?) |
