A Thousand Bars

(专辑： Shuffle And Go - 2020)

In a thousand public bars across the land
There are people crossing swords and holding hands
There are attitudes and arguments and actual fisticuffs
Where those who search for trouble, can never find enough

The Horse and Groom, the Pig and Poke
The Sun and Moon, the Piston Broke
The Fox and Flagon, the George and Dragon
The Earth and Stars, a thousand bars

In a thousand public bars across the land
There's pay-per-view and football on demand
Families on Sundays and the nights passing through
And solitary drinkers, with nothing left to do

The Horse and Groom, the Pig and Poke
The Sun and Moon, the Piston Broke
The Fox and Flagon, the George and Dragon
The Earth and Stars, a thousand bars

In a thousand public bars across the land
There are people feeling grim and feeling grand
Come evening's end we're singing some old forgotten song
How you and I are just the same, so why can't we get along

The Horse and Groom, the Pig and Poke
The Sun and Moon, the Piston Broke
The Fox and Flagon, the George and Dragon
The Earth and Stars, a thousand bars

The Corner House, the Caxton
The bonny Bankfoot Inn
The Busker and the Better Half are warm and welcoming
And here's the Sussex Yeoman
Her door is open wide
A stone's throw from the station
And all my friends inside

In a thousand public bars across the land
There are people trying hard to understand
There are first drinks and last orders
And all the time between
And everything I could have done, and all I might have been

The Horse and Groom, the Pig and Poke
The Sun and Moon, the Piston Broke
The Fox and Flagon, the George and Dragon
The Earth and Stars, a thousand bars
