The Herd - Breakfast Club lyrics

I get up and look at the clock stumble out
Check my teeth to see if they've rot
Brush em now
Looking out for the hair of the dog
Hunt em down
On the rocks one coffee and I'm off
I'm coming round 'cause the train
I'm on don't wanna stop for after effect
And you're loving the taste of the
Grog still up in his breath
And the moment of reason is
Gone cluttered by 'yes'
Now you squint in the
Sunlight asking "What's next?"

Now I've woke with a shock in the night
Asking "Hey why are the
Shudders blocking the light?"
"Dude it's midday"
"Oh could you ask Mario to
Borrow an extra light
To hit the pub or hit sixteen
Pads like a Tekken fight"
I'm really just riding the day as I see it
And the feeling I'm fighting
Away was quite decent
And the precedent has been set nights ago
Decadence and the predicate sunlight grows

So, it's another all night to call dawn
And though I got you on my
Mind I know your roll call
I should take it as a sign and forget it all
But not much is black and
White or straight forward
Bar another invite, watch the wall
Another glass asked why, single malt
We play the stages of our time
And look for the fall
Warm out, moonlight, I might take a walk

But half of the punters that chase the waste
The escape
The uncharted estate steadily hard to relate
Still the toilet looked better
Than it ever should've
And we drunkenly revel in it
Getting full of all the drink
And the devil and shit
Live for the second, the minute, the moment
But, I don't know if I'm coping
Don't have the stamina
No hammer and tong hedonist
You go ahead me, I'm not taking on Everest

Maybe thinking too much, making assumptions
This, that, seems sprouted I can't function
I slide into the bar
I'm vaguely aware of the bizarre
Dance macabre, strangers pair off
The ritual starts with a tap on the shoulder
But the company here's just
Making loneliness colder
So I'm back out the door
Looking for lord knows
The grey blue half light and
The long walk home

Here come the sunlight
We've ridden the rhythm it was a fun night
Took everything we were given
I had a night that I could never forget
A little this, a little that
And a little regret

I walk through the door of the club
Rub my eyes, gravitate to the bar, it's a hub
Overpriced, it's like even the
Bouncer's on drugs yeh she nice
But as trashy as a cigarette
Stub with a glamour disguise
All the more tired and worn
The music blaring
See me creeping towards dawn like a ferry
They take photographs with their phones
I'm beyond caring
I just take my smoky clothes home
Put em' out for airing

And in the second I'll reflect
On the cheques and balances
A saturday night Bobba Fett and
Yet still manage to tip the break of dawn
We broke the laws of physics
But for now I've got a cup of
Tea and a couch to visit
Out like a lizard drinking
Man I'm done with thinking
Calling peeps up and asking
Them to bring cigs, we done big tings
And any women gets the message grab
Here comes the sunshine so I can't be had

Swore there was something more to this
I don't know, so I'm getting slowly pissed
The warm glow
I don't know if you get my gist
But, I'm cyclops like there's plenty of
Fish but I'm dry docked
And I'm content sitting here on
The pier with no boat
Patient, waiting for that ship to come in
It's so slow could be the part of the joke
Maybe clutching at smoke
But this frustrated bloke is going to trust
Hit and hope

12 hours is a lot of time
To get your drink on
Got me thinking about the bottom line
And where to kick on
This stamina is killin, softly slow the music
I'm hammered and feeling free got to
Hold on or lose it
Now I know that the movement
Towards sleep is imminent
I could keep it in a sit
Or take fatigue a prisoner
Some help from a friend now at
The end of the bag
And get this night to extend
It was the best I've ever had

We greet with a kiss on the cheek
It's awkward
You frown and ask 'where did we meet?'
I laugh and I should've just shaken your
Hand but who gives a damn
We pretend we're friends
Probably won't see her again
That's cool, this young disposable income
Got me buying and justifying
Til the morning come
