Del Amitri - Whiskey Remorse lyrics

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 sit's here drinking with
A tale that always goes
'There is a girl I used to know'
