I’ve got a story (2)

I’ve got a story

But it’s never been clear

I’ll tell you my story

If you buy me a beer

But the paper is gone

And I don’t think - I can remember it all



I’ve been around

And I’ve rung me a bell

I’ve finished my beer

Now I’m visiting hell

And I’m not sure

If I remember the words that I wanted to say





Pour me reason

As I sleep on the bar

Read my fortune

And I’ll sell you my car

Buy me strings

For my broken guitar

And I guess it’s over

The star has now gone

So I’ll disappear





I’ll sing you a song

If you turn off the lights

The children are sleeping

And I’ve missed my last flight

My pockets are full

With broken notes for an alibi





Love is a danger

But so are the rocks

I’ll have a whisky an ice

And reset the clocks

The cigarette is out

All I have - is the smoke in my eyes?





Pour me reason

As I sleep on the bar

Read my fortune

And I’ll sell you my car

Buy me strings

For my broken guitar

And I guess it’s over

The star has now gone

So I’ll disappear





I have this riddle

Or so I’ve been told

Give me a password

Help crack this code

The fuse is lit

Nobody’s home - they’re all on holiday



Worn these shoes

And they’re causing me pain

I would have carried on walking

But it started to rain

So I need a drink

To help me forget - the direction I’m in





Lost my story

Because I left it out side

I got my reasons

And they can’t be denied

Pour me another

Because it’s here I’ll reside

And I guess it’s over

The star has now gone

So I’ll disappear
