Trash Can Sinatras I'll Get Them In
They people the town with dominoes - half price after
dark
It's a half masked, two-faced place to go
Good thing the world's not flat - I'd be backing away
from there
The second hand jacket from the fire brigade tries to
not look drenched
While the damp umbrella in the corner hides a humble
fifty pence
You would have to hold us back
Rod and alcohol combine, a glass of gin and 'tonight's
the night'
A sobering thought springs to my mind.....so I get them
in
There's the anecdote about an argument with the singer
from jellyfish
Made a secretive call to some friends of mine for a
gift of twenty quid
Just enough to get us pished.....almost
Another drunk pub quiz compare, another drink, just to
make it fair
I see it's almost afternoon.....so I get them in
Turn another page past the telly guide and the pissed
cartoonist's strip
Take a telephone trip to the lonely hearts' armchair
party night
Or explorers can buy a wife from Bangkok
One day everything turns out right, the next is the end
of that era
But I bottle up and keep it inside, I'm in shipshape
Rod and alcohol combine, a glass of wine and 'tonight's
the night'
A sobering thought springs to my mind.....so I get them
in
