Community Centre

Well the sky's turnin' purple

Above the community centre

And I'm sittin' in a circle

Telling my secrets to strangers

And they say I've got a problem

But I don't know that I've got one

'Cause you never know that you've got one

'Til someone comes along and spots one

They say it's the hardest step

But it's the first one of many

And my feet are stuck to the ground

And I can't seem to take any

I could tell them I just came

For the free cup of tea and the biscut

And make my way towards the door

But I don't think I can risk it 'cause

I never wanted to stay

But the mornin' came so soon

And we all know the words

But we just sing them out of tune

'Cause I had my first drink when I was 14

And I knew that I was in trouble

'Cause I woke up the next mornin'

With my face down in the rubble

And everyone was drinkin' singles

I pour myself a double

I just needed a little bit more

And now I'm sittin' here with my name badge

And I'm listenin' to the same sad

Stories about their old dads

Who're makin' all the same bad

Turnin's at their crossroads

And drownin' all their sorrows

Without any lifeguard around

Oh-no

I never wanted to stay

But the mornin' came so soon

And oh, we all know the words

But we just sing them out of tune

And oh, oh, oh-no

And the sky's turnin' dark

So we step out into the car-park

And I see you all same place, same time next week but

Before we go our separate ways

Theres just one thing I'd like to say is

Anybody up for a drink
