"After Hours" lyrics
"After Hours"
How in the world will I make it to work in the morning?
I've been drinking since we clocked out and now it's 4AM
But they're such a generous couple, Alfredo and Pauline
When they offer a late night session you don't want to offend
The shutters come down
And that's what they're for
We don't want to invite in the law
It's not often the case that we're forced to sacrifice the jukebox
But the plug always has to be pulled on the quiz machine
So you imbibe all you can cause you're partaking in something forbidden
And time after time you'll wake up face down in the latrine
We speak in hushed tones
Dim down the lights
We're staying after hours tonight
Where am I now?
Where am I now?
Where am I now?
I don't remember a thing
I don't remember, remember a thing
Lord only knows what kind of poison I'm drinking
I can't read the label
So I'll just dance off my cares like Fred Astaire
Up here on the table
The shutters come down
And that's what they're for
We don't want to invite in the law
Speak in hushed tones
And dim down the lights
We're staying after hours tonight

The La's - "Son Of A Gun" If you want I'll sell you a life story
About a man who's at loggerheads
With his past all the time
He's alive and living in purgatory
All he's doing is rooming in hotels
And scooping up lots of wine...
Stereophonics - "Local Boy In The Photograph" There's no mistake, I smell that smell
It's that time of year again, I can taste the air
The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again
