Come Drinking With Me

There was an old pub in my town
It could turn every frown upside down
There was cider for Peter and Mary
And wine for the guy from the dairy
And on every friday night our town would laugh and fight
We’d drink till our memories went
Then go sleep it off in our beds
And you could use somebody and I’ve got a shoulder to lend
I learned from the best how to make good friends,
So won’t you come drinking with me,
Oh won’t you come drinking with me
There was a new club in my town
That everyone young hung around
You could do whatever you desired
So you’d light the dance floor on fire
And on every saturday night out town would kiss and cry
We’d leave when the lights came on
Knowing we’d be back before long
And you could use somebody and I’ve got a shoulder to lend
I learned from the best how to make good friends,
So won’t you come drinking with me,
Oh won’t you come drinking with me
There was a big bar in the city
We got in because we were pretty
Joy was a free flowing fountain
With so many smiles you couldn’t count them
And on every week day night the city would treat us right
Sometimes we barely got home
With broken heels and lost phones
And you could use somebody and I’ve got a shoulder to lend
I learned from the best how to make good friends,
So won’t you come drinking with me
And you could use somebody and I’ve got a shoulder to lend
I learned from the best how to make good friends,
So won’t you come drinking with me,
Oh won’t you come drinking with me

Hey Listen,
About that time I wore your favourite pair of shoes when we went out one night
Then I took them off and left them in the toilets and went home in just my tights
That wasn’t right
But those days were strange
They’re not so far away
And I shouldn’t have done that to you
Hey Listen,
About that time I had to be sick in your jacket on the taxi ride back
It was nice of you to help me so I wouldn’t get a fine from 13 cabs,
Yeah that was bad
But those days were strange
They’re not so far away
And I shouldn’t have done that to you
To you
To you
Hey listen,
About that time I helpe dyou cheat on your girlfriend when she was away
It wasn’t true you weren’t together but we hooked up in your car anyway
That wasn’t great
And those days were strange
They’re not so far away
And I shouldn’t have done that to you
I shouldn’t have done that to you

Bluestone

Spewed from the mountain,
Covered the ground where you lay for us
Under dust for a thousand years
Until a man came
Dripped his sweat in your face, you’re coming with me
It’s time to see your new home
Bluestone
Under the hill is a hole filled with city crap
And above the street was a hill that had to be flat
It’s earth was used to fill the hole that used to be your home
Bluestone
Ten brothers laying
The bedrock for a lane for men to cart
Their shit down Carlton Street
Their buckets slipping
Sewage slops over brim and under their shit
You watch the city grow
Bluestone
Under the hill is a hole filled with city crap
And above the street was a hill that had to be flat
It’s earth was used to fill the hole that used to be your home
And your body lies atop the dirt as cold as stone
Bluestone

She said come with me
Put on your make up, do your hair
We’ll have some fun and have some drinks I’m sure it won’t cost you a thing
Keep me company
I barely know the guy he wants to pay me money,
I don’t really need the funds just want to see, if he’ll give it to me
Ok, let’s go to the strip club
He said come on in
There’s no entry fee for you delightful ladies,
Take your bar tokens and go enjoy the show, I’ll let the boss know
You’re here, he’ll come find you
So we danced through the night to the bar
He said: I’m Maurice
Girls it’s nice to finally see your faces
Looking so much younger than you ever did before
He said come with me,
I know a place where we can spin and twirl all night,
I’ll teach you how to do it right just follow me, let me get my keys
It’s here, behind this door and up these stairs,
Hold the pole tightly,
And spin around like you are flying,
Don’t let gravity deny your clients private fantasies- watch me glide with ease,
Okay, it’s your turn
So we danced on the stage, around the heart shaped pool, in the private room
Lads it’s time to leave
We gotta shut up shop
The sun will soon be rising as it must be 3 o’clock or maybe four
But girls please don’t leave
I haven’t introduced you yet to Bob or Jason, Joe’d hate to know you’d chosen to depart
At his favourite part
When we play, Hotel California
So just take a seat
Joe, Bob and Jason take your places, prepare to be enchanted by the magic of our choreography
‘Cause we’re dancing queens
And we’ll give you a real show
To Hotel California
So they danced on the poles until the warm morning glow and we made our way back home

Holy man
You’re on fire with the love of all mankind
A spirit man
You’re a lover of every man you find
A giving hand in a barren land to the dirty, the addicted and the poor
You’re a foreign smile that’ll spend the night in the shelter of a bolted shop door
And I wanna be just like you
So I’m wondering what would Jesus do
There was a night
I was filled with scorn for all around
A flippant crowd
Looked the part but their hearts were nowhere to be found
How could I love their fingerless gloves when they’d paid twice for less and not more?
When the best chat all night was with the homeless guy in the shelter of a bolted shop door?
But I wanna be just like you
So I’m wondering what would Jesus do
Could be the man
Filled with the ease that comes from self-righteousness
Then I’d be the man
Who’s scorn found the highest moral branch to nest
It’s a harder choice to give friends a voice when their words are all glamour and gain
When your heartfelt desire is to conspire so their indulgence ends in their pain
But I wanna be just like you
So I’m wondering what would Jesus do
