Pink Floyd - Paintbox lyrics

Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules
Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
I had another drink
(Drink – a – drink – a – drink – a – drink)
(Ah)

What a way to spend that evening
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
They're in the scene I should have been
Far away (Away – away – away – away – away)

Getting up, i feel as if I’m
Remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget

The telephone rings and someone speaks
She would very much like to go out to a show
So what can I do? I can’t think what to say
She sees through anyway
(Away – away – away – away – away)

Out of the front door I go
Traffic’s moving rather slow arriving late
There she wait's, looking very angry
As cross as she can be
(Be – a – be – a – be – a – be – a – be)

Getting up, i feel as if I’m
Remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
