Whiskey Remorse

(альбом: The B-Sides: Lousy With Love - 1998)

There is a girl I used to know
She had a hundred ways of hurting and so
I packed my bags and left her as she watched some TV show
There is a girl I used to know

There is a town I used to love
It once contained most everything I'd ever dare dreamed of
Me and my baby in the basement whilst the traffic trawled above
There is a town I used to love

There is a bar I used to know
I still sometimes drop by when I have no place left to go
It's where the kings of comedy compare their tattered souls
There is a bar I used to know

So buy me one more drink before you go
Or lend me a twenty and I'll get drunk on my own
You always find some company, who come in to use the phone
Someone who can't stand to see a friend go home alone

There is a joke I used to tell
Some guy who gets three wishes, ends up wasting them to hell
And in the end in misery, he tells the joke himself

There is a guy I used to know
He once had everything that any man could hope
Now he sits here drinking with a tale that always goes
'There is a girl I used to know'
