(heaton/rotheray)

Well sitting in a bar alone

Where no-one knows your name

Is like laying in a graveyard

Wide awake

Youre scared that if you cough or yawn

You might wake up the dead

So pretend to read a paper

Or just drink instead

Im a stand-up comedian

But Id sit down if I could

The world just seems

To want folk like me to stand

And the punch-lines seem to disappear

Like clouds across the sky

And the laughter could be real

Or could be canned

Rum by the kettle drum

Whiskey by the jar

At liars bar

Well living with a lying man

Could never really hurt

But living with a drunk

Well no-one deserves

And youre looking for your husband

Youre not sure hes still alive

Dont bother with the cemetery

Hell be down at liars dive

Im a travelling businessman

I just stopped in for one drink

Youll find

That Im not like the other men

Their noses are red

Whilst mine is only pink

And they didnt choose their drink

Their drink chose them

Rum by the kettle drum

Whiskey by the jar

At liars bar

And the grave-diggers smiling

At his reflection in his spade

Hes visiting the seediest

The shallowest of graves

The vocal chords of elephants

And the characters of mice

Theyre singing whisky, whisky

So good they named it twice

Well dont pass buildings with lights on

If I said that I did Id have lied

cause what looks like a chinese restaurant

May have chinese new year inside

And son all my life Ive been searching

The bars Ive been in I forget

The lights outside ever brighter

But a light on the inside not yet

Rum by the kettle drum

Whiskey by the jar

At liars bar

And hes a world-wide traveller

Hes not like me or you

But he comes in mighty regular

For one whos passing through

That one came in his work clothes

Hes missed his last bus home

Hes missed a hell of a lot of buses

For a man who wants to roam

If I look rough I am rough

If I look sad I am

If I look broke I am broke

Just a broke down piece of man

Ive turned over enough leaves

To fill an autumn

And if I had one final wish

Id be your slave for a decade

If you could take me away from this

If you took me away from this

Id be different youd see

cause I didnt choose the drink

A drink just chose me

Rum by the kettle drum

Whiskey by the jar

At liars bar

Well Im smoking like a chimney

And Im drinking like a fish

At liars bar
