Whiskey Remorse - Del Amitri

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 sits here drinking with a tale that always goes

'There is a girl I used to know'
