Girl At The Bar

from Down The Bright Stream by Vinny Peculiar

/

lyrics

She’d love to be on in radio
She used to live around here I didn’t know
In those days she wasn’t quite as cool as she is now

Got a boyfriend on tv
A bit of a local celebrity
Did an advert with Johnny Vegas for PG
He was a monkey

I’m just talking to the girl at the bar
About how well they finished off her appendix scar…

She knew the boy in the platform shoes
Helping himself to his fathers booze
When his dad found out he beat him black n blue

And her mother at the peace campsite
She’d been putting the world to rights
She did what she did for me and you

I’m just talking to the girl at the bar
She loves Jo Malone and the occasional cigar – ah ha





So do you come here often?
Yes I come here all the time
Do you want something to happen?
Can you read my mind?
Do you want to get wankered
Yes I like the sound of that
You know it’s been a long time since I had decent [shag]

Talking to a girl at the bar
She lost her job as a hairdresser
Determined to have a good time
Now she’s dancing at the table and knocking back the wine

I leave the bar soon after
Scrounge a cigarette
Catch the last train home
And I think about the girl that I met
Think about the girl that I met

And I try to forget to remember to forget…

The girl that I met
That girl…
