Lyrics
LOCAL BAR BLUES
Well Dave and Hev are all right, Paul is always uptight
Duncan he?s out all night on the razzle yet again
I got those local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, make me squirt my money down the drain
Well there?s the capitalist pig-dog, the infirm and insane
I swear I?m never goin? down that public house again
I got them local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, make me squirt my money down the drain
Gizzy?s in the corner, Alf he?s by the door
Any minute now I?ll see somebody on the floor
I got them local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, Lord don?t give me blues no more
Well Nick he laughs the loudest, Liz she talks the best
Howard does his best to help her get it off her chest
Got them local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, Lord don?t put me to the test
Arthur?s quite sarcastic but never, ever rude
He?s gonna have to get his bar stool surgically removed
I got them local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, whooh-hoo-hoo
Norman can be funny but sometimes he?s a pain
Especially when he tries to pay in Lira yet again
I got them local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, make me squirt my money down the drain
Phil Waring?s on the Guinness, Phil Herbert?s in his plane
Linda?s waiting by the door to take me home again
I got them local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, make me squirt my money down the drain
Well I?m feelin? very happy but my head is kinda sore
I haven?t been to work yet and it?s twenty-five to four
I got them local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, Lord don?t give me blues no more
Kev he does the shoutin?, Jo she does the train
Helmet?s on the Stella and the football?s on again
I got them local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, make me squirt my money down the drain
Oliver he?s coming into the pub again
Everybody drinks and leaves ?cos they can?t take the strain
Got them local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, make me squirt my money down the drain
Ian brings his dogs in, they throw up on the floor
And when they start to eat it everybody?s out the door
I got them local bar blues, got them local bar blues
Got them local bar blues, Lord don?t give me blues no more
Got them local bar blues
Lord don?t give me blues no more, no more
Got them local bar blues
Lord don?t give me blues no more
Squirt my money down the drain
First stop off the train
Drivin? me insane
Squirt my blues down the drain
