"The Good Times" lyrics
The person who said "One last drink"
Has headed to bed
Just the wood in that old burning fire
Keeps me company instead
As I watch it just crackle and burn
There's one bitter lesson I learn
Don't take for granted
The things that she did and she said
They say that the pub cellar here has a couple of ghosts
Landlord and landlady 13th century hosts
They would drink too much then they would fight
I still hear them blaspheming at night
At least those two spectres still argue from pillar to post
They lived through the good times, struggled through bad times
The pub it reopened then closed
Put up a new sign, took down the old sign
New problems only arose
They put on a disco, put on a raffle
Even put on a pub quiz
The death of the disco probably her fault
The death of relationship his
As I look at the pub clock
It's turning the small hand to three
Previously this time of night
She'd be listening to me
Now the conversation I got
Like the convict it ain't a real lot
The jailbird you feel sorry for
Has more partners than me
In the middle of August I see when the beer garden's packed
They order their drinks and I feel like the opening act
That banter they have in the sun
Is worse cause some have us none
Joke told to self is less funny, that's just a fact
They lived through the good times, struggled through bad times
The pub it reopened then closed
Put up a new sign, took down the old sign
New problems only arose
They put on a disco, put on a raffle
Even put on a pub quiz
The death of the disco probably her fault
The death of relationship his
She's the first girl I kissed
That caused me to cry
That gave me real heartache
But set my soul free
I lit the first cigarette
That caused the addiction
That gave her the cancer
And took her from me
They lived through the good times, struggled through bad times
The pub it reopened then closed
Put up a new sign, took down the old sign
New problems only arose
They put on a disco, put on a raffle
Even put on a pub quiz
The death of the disco probably her fault
The death of relationship his
The death of relationship his
Has headed to bed
Just the wood in that old burning fire
Keeps me company instead
As I watch it just crackle and burn
There's one bitter lesson I learn
Don't take for granted
The things that she did and she said
They say that the pub cellar here has a couple of ghosts
Landlord and landlady 13th century hosts
They would drink too much then they would fight
I still hear them blaspheming at night
At least those two spectres still argue from pillar to post
They lived through the good times, struggled through bad times
The pub it reopened then closed
Put up a new sign, took down the old sign
New problems only arose
They put on a disco, put on a raffle
Even put on a pub quiz
The death of the disco probably her fault
The death of relationship his
As I look at the pub clock
It's turning the small hand to three
Previously this time of night
She'd be listening to me
Now the conversation I got
Like the convict it ain't a real lot
The jailbird you feel sorry for
Has more partners than me
In the middle of August I see when the beer garden's packed

They lived through the good times, struggled through bad times

Put up a new sign, took down the old sign

The death of the disco probably her fault
The death of relationship his
The death of relationship his
