"Chancer" lyrics

"Chancer"

I missed the train
I'm separated from my mates
I'm in the rain
I'll have to find another way
Of getting back
I'll make a plan of attack after one more

I'll find a bar
It's the only one that's open
Not too far
The windows smashed
The lights are broke
But there you are
And my eyes must be burning
A hole in your head
Cause you turned, so I said that...

I won't treat you like
Those other men do
Get planning your hen do
What size is your ring?
Already know which one I'll get you
Know which one I'll get you

She said she reckons
I'm a chancer, chancer
All my questions go
Unanswered, answered
But people keep on moving, talking
Oh I'll be home in the morning
She reckons I'm a chancer, chancer
All my questions go
Unanswered, answered
But people keep on moving, talking
Oh I'll be home in the morning

It's the next week
I'm reunited with my friends
They won't believe
How I'm claiming my night ends
Can't say I blame 'em
Can't even name ya
Said where'd we meet?
I said the bar I said the name
They said they know it
And it's a special type of place
That pays a special type of girl
To do a special type of moving
I'll laugh in their face and say
I've got nothing to prove

And so I told her I'd defend her
From the other men there
She said don't do a thing
They pay my bills
They're private members
But now you've said it I've remembered

She said she was a dancer, dancer
But no one had the answers for her
But people keep her moving, talking
I'll be home in the morning
She reckons I'm a chancer, chancer
All my questions go
Unanswered, answered
But people keep on moving, talking
Oh I'll be home in the morning

She reckons I'm a chancer, chancer
All my questions go unanswered, answered
But people keep on moving, talking
Oh I'll be home in the morning
She said she was a dancer, dancer
But no-one had the answers for her
But people keep her moving, talking
I'll be home in the morning

I'm coming down
To take you away
From your podium
In your lingerie
And you'll never work
Another day
Like this again

We'll find a place
We can slip away
We'll find a place
Where I won't have to pay
For your agility and flexibility
And then I know I'll be just fine
