lyrics

There at night time my life came together one day.
In a moment I ventured for to have my say.
Didn't care too much if all I said fell on deaf ears.
All I knew was if I stayed dumb I'd regret it for years.
Stood a girl there, familiar yet still unknown.
Ah was drunk when herself to me she'd first shown.
Overtures made, and gentleman mode engaged.
No luck this time, no numbers were exchanged.

It's the things we say, and the games we play.
Are we predator or prey, in the mating, mating game.

Another Saturday, in my hometown everyone's drunk.
Ten hours worth o' lager we've already sunk.
Better hurry all you beautiful lassies in town.
Get a move on before all get drunk and fall on down.
It's the usual ah just need ah guiding light.
Apart fae neon, and ads for yank beer that tastes shite.
Up the nightclub, ah'me pished and that bouncer's a prick.
Then ah'me outside, nose broken, slipping in sick.
