lyrics

The Wee House

I picked myself off the floor and walked down to ‘The Wee House’,
It was half-eight on Sunday morning and the place was jammed.
The place was hiving with brilliant losers...just like me.

You see the girl who used to sing opera?
She’s wasted.
She’s trying to stand up straight and keep her dignity.
She used to dream of singing at Covent Garden,
Now she’s singing for the old boys in the Wee House instead.

But it’ll be alright when Tuesday comes,
That’s when my money comes through,
I’m going to buy a ticket on the bus and go to the sea,
And watch the sun going down...over me.

It’s funny how things turn out – you look in the mirror and you’re young,
The next time you look you are older.

And there you sit in the corner.
Staring into your pint.
You’ve thrown it all over the floor, you just don’t care.
You used to be a musician in the West End,
Now you pick your guitar with a beer mat, as the old boys sings their songs.

But it’ll be alright when your claim comes through,
When you fell outside the King Dick,
And you stand to make about three grand,
And when we get it we’re going on such a bender.

It’s funny how things turn out – you look in the mirror and you’re young,
The next time you look you are older.

Sure, if you’re not marching then you’re fighting...
if you’re not marching then you’re fighting...
if you’re not marching then you’re fighting...
if you’re not marching then you’re fighting yourself.
