lyrics

I know it’s getting late but the bell hasn't rung just yet
So get me another glass of something
And when the sun comes up I’ll crawl on back to bed
And close my eyes against the morning

We sit and listen to the jukebox as it plays
All the songs that take us back
Remind us of those simpler, brighter days
And the good times that we had

When we’d sing the same old songs
Laughing, drinking, dancing, feeling like we could belong
And we’d make the same mistake
That we’d made many times and we’d feel it when we’d wake
Oh and we’ll sing

Put some coins so the table for another game of pool
‘Cause I’ve got a losing streak to beat
Can’t seem to keep straight though I’m looking down a cue
And I don’t have a mind to cheat

Tell me, will you remember this conversation when you wake?
Or is that a point we’ve passed?
Well, I started early and there’s only so much I can take
Don’t know how long I’m gonna last

The room is spinning and I’m falling to my knees
The lights are dimming and I’m drifting, begging
Please don’t let me go!

Verse 5:
Well, I know it’s getting late but the bar hasn't closed just yet
so could you give me change to borrow?
We’ll wake to bleary eyes and a pounding in our heads
Then we’ll do it all again tomorrow

And we’ll sing the same old songs
Laughing, drinking, dancing, feeling like we could belong
And we’ll make the same mistake
that we’ve made many times and we’ll feel it when we wake

Oh and we’ll sing the same old songs
Laughing, drinking, dancing, feeling nothing can go wrong
And we’ll make the same mistake
that we’ve made many times and we’ll feel it when we wake
Oh and we’ll sing

Jess Silk Stourbridge, UK

Jess Silk is a guitarist, singer and songwriter from the Black Country. Her shouty but melodic brand of folk/punk music often has her being likened to a female Frank Turner or Billy Bragg, and it gets people sitting up and listening. Armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar and a distinctive, gravely voice that many don’t expect, Jess plays to audiences up and down the UK. ... more
