Tonight I Saved A Life

I’ll write a book about this life

And you won’t think it fiction

I want you to like me

So I’ll speak in actor’s diction

But I bet that you’ll love me

And I’m known to trust a flutter

The rain may fall but we’ll dance on

Like coins fell through the gutter

Is this place the worst place that you have ever been?

Is my sweat the sweetest you have felt on your skin?

That horror, that horror, that horror that you knew

Is music, it's music that you are dancing to

I kissed a girl soft on the lips

And she returned the favour

I sucked on sodden beermats

To taste liberty’s sweet flavour

But I was sold headaches

Left but apathy to savour

And the one who stole my heart

Went free spite bad behaviour

So look to me don't try to see that television

Look to me don't try to see that television

Do you feel my warm sweat, do you feel my beating heart?

If you want to see heaven I know just the place to start

Dig deep, dig dark, deep between your flesh

For that motion, emotion, that you think suits you best

I kissed a girl soft on the lips

And she returned the favour

I sucked on sodden beermats

To taste liberty’s sweet flavour

But I was sold headaches

Left but apathy to savour

And the one who stole my heart

Went free spite bad behaviour

So look to me don't try to see that television

Look to me don't try to see that television

Tonight you're drinking at The Queen's Head

Same hopeful thinking, same hopeless dread

Tonight you're moving at The Queen's Head

Don't lose that feeling, don't lose your head

I wrote a book about this life

And tried sell it as fiction

I wanted you to love me

But I spoke in drunken diction

So I bet that you hate me

And I’m known to trust a flutter

The rain may fall

But we’ll dance on

Like coins fell through the gutter
