Del Amitri - Buttons On My Clothes lyrics

I've been drinking all through summer
I guess I've had a laugh
I've had every kind of fun I could have had

Looking at my crowd tonight
There's a sober kind of sparkle in their eyes
That I don't like

'Cause everybody knows she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes are as
Plain to see as that
I'm a man of reputation in this rocker's town
I have lived it up so long
I'll never live it down
Every back room bet I've made
Every all night thrill room-service
Bill I've paid looks cheap today

'Cause everybody knows she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes are as
Plain to see as that

I took a chemical vacation in my head
But now I'm back here at the
Station with a trunk of regret

Thought I found myself a
Frequency beyond her voice
But the memories keep breaking
Through the noise so brother
Send a ship for me before I
Wash upon the shore of clarity i can see

That everybody knows she ain't coming back
The buttons on my clothes are as
Plain to see as that

Yeah, everwhere I go
There are ghosts of what I had
Like the buttons on my clothes
They are everywhere I'm at
