Steady Flow

(album: Heyday - 2019)

Have I been eating sawdust? That's a vile taste on my tongue
A drum behind my forehead, beating like a gun
They'll hate me if I call in sick, they'll hate me if I don't
Scowling at me, howling at me, all this on the phone

Nauseous stomach, bloodshot eyes, I really do feel bad
Maybe I should lie back down, later I'll be glad

Never again will I let this happen, never again will I fall so low
Never again will I be tempted, by the barman's steady flow

Let's step into the shower and see how that will feel
Some cooling water and a shave, later a good meal
The look into the mirror tells me that I'm no catch
But hell, I have a good man's heart, I'd make a proper match

Nauseous stomach, bloodshot eyes, I really do feel bad
Maybe I should lie back down, later I'll be glad

Never again will I let this happen, never again will I fall so low
Never again will I be tempted, by the barman's steady flow

The morning's bad, what can I say? (Hey)
But I'll be fine, after this day (Hey)
Call me mad, that's okay (Hey)
Getting wasted (Hey), that's my way

So, won't that count for something in a world so full of scams?
Hanging with your best of mates won't do any harm
So why not meet up later? I'm already feeling fine
Maybe round seven for some beer or a glass of wine?

Never again will I let this happen, never again will I fall so low
Never again will I be tempted, by the barman's steady flow

Never again
Never again
Never again
By the barman's steady flow
