These blackened hearts of ours they do provide
A sip of gin like turpentine
A cigarette between your crusty lips
And coffee stains between the blinds
There is no lemon only lime
And people on TV do lines all the time
Cause one fine day not long ago
I wanted to stay but she wanted me to go
Now we talk on the telephone
I want to go home but dont know where to go
You hit your highs and you hit your lows
Close your eyes and away it goes
Another year has passed just sitting here on my arse
It feel like a good kick in the pants
Where does all the good time a go go baby?
When I'm not with my good time girl?
The whiskey here if not at all
Is worth its price paid full in gold
To put my heart up on a shelf
When Im feeling sorry for myself
You hit your highs and you hit your lows
Close your eyes and away it goes
Another year has passed just sitting here on my arse
It feel like a good kick in the pants
Where does all the good time a go go baby?
When I'm not with my good time girl?
