 Intro

And once more I'm feeling sore the room is spinning round me

Too much drink the night before at least I slept soundly

Mothers in the kitchen peeling carrotts by the light of one bare bulb

Daddy's in the dark outside he's had too much to drink again tonight

You again I'm back again sitting on his sofa

Nothing's on the tee-vee tonight why don't you come over?

Meet you by John Menzies we'll go down beside the river Thames this evening

I'll drink what I always drink and we'll talk about things which have No meaning

We're always looking for something to hold on to

We're with our friends they're the best things we can find

We don't belong here but where else can we go to?

It's far too late now to stop

Haft past ten same again and we'll be going home soon

Don't know why I feel so high maybe it's the full moon

Walking down this street again this street I've walked ten thousand times before

Wind is at my back again good night my friends I'm back indoors again

We're always looking for something to hold on to

We're with our friends they're the best things we can find

We don't belong here but where else can we go to?

It's far too late now to stop

Repeat intro

Meet you by John Menzies we'll go down beside the river Thames this evening

I'll drink what I always drink and we'll talk about things which have no meaning
