Liars' Bar - Beautiful South[00:00:00]

Well sitting in a bar alone where no-one knows your name[00:00:24]

Is like laying in a graveyard wide awake[00:00:29]

You're scared that if you cough or yawn you might wake up the dead[00:00:35]

So pretend to read a paper or just drink instead[00:00:40]

I'm a stand-up comedian but I'd sit down if I could[00:00:46]

The world just seems to want folk like me to stand[00:00:51]

And the punch-lines seem to disappear like clouds across the sky[00:00:57]

And the laughter could be real or could be canned[00:01:02]

Rum by the kettle drum[00:01:08]

Whiskey by the jar[00:01:10]

At Liars' Bar[00:01:15]

Well living with a lying man could never really hurt[00:01:27]

But living with a drunk well no-one deserves[00:01:32]

And you're looking for your husband you're not sure he's still alive[00:01:38]

Don't bother with the cemetery he'll be down at liar's dive[00:01:44]

I'm a travelling businessman I just stopped in for one drink[00:01:50]

You'll find that I'm not like the other men[00:01:55]

Their noses are red whilst mine is only pink[00:02:01]

And they didn't choose their drink their drink chose them[00:02:06]

Rum by the kettle drum[00:02:13]

Whiskey by the jar[00:02:15]

At Liars' Bar[00:02:20]

And the grave-digger's smiling at his reflection in his spade[00:02:32]

He's visiting the seediest the shallowest of graves[00:02:38]

The vocal chords of elephants and the characters of mice[00:02:44]

They're singing "whisky whisky" so good they named it twice[00:02:49]

And son this is rule one:[00:03:01]

Well don't pass buildings with lights on if I said that I did I'd have lied[00:03:06]

'Cause what looks like a Chinese restaurant may have Chinese New Year inside[00:03:12]

And son all my life I've been searching the bars I've been in I forget[00:03:18]

The lights outside ever brighter but a light on the inside not yet[00:03:23]

Rum by the kettle drum[00:03:29]

Whiskey by the jar[00:03:32]

At Liars' Bar[00:03:37]

And he's a world-wide traveller he's not like me or you[00:03:49]

But he comes in mighty regular for one who's passing through[00:03:54]

That one came in his work clothes he's missed his last bus home[00:04:00]

He's missed a hell of a lot of buses for a man who wants to roam[00:04:06]

You'll never get to Rome son[00:04:12]

And son this is rule two:[00:04:18]

If I look rough I am rough if I look sad I am[00:04:23]

If I look broke am I broke just a broke down piece of man[00:04:29]

I don't mean to get sad on you at all but this is the truth:[00:04:41]

I've turned over enough leaves to fill an autumn if I had one final wish[00:04:46]

I'd be your slave for a decade if you could take me away from this pish[00:04:51]

If you took me away from this I'd be different you'd see[00:04:57]

'Cause I didn't choose the drink a drink just chose me[00:05:03]

Rum by the kettle drum[00:05:09]

Whiskey by the jar[00:05:12]

At Liars' Bar Well I'm smoking like a chimley And I'm drinking like a fish At Liars' Bar[00:05:17]
