[00:25.74] I never was a violent man
[00:28.75] Said the man in the bar with his head in his hands
[00:32.03] He's trying his best to understand the 'cause of his dismay
[00:38.45] But the years of gin have broken him
[00:41.34] They've left him cold where he's fitted in
[00:44.59] But it's too late now to turn around and find another way
[00:51.00] And the lights in the late night lock-in
[00:54.09] Have faded away when he gets in
[00:57.74] The girl from fifteen years ago
[01:00.92] Has packed and gone away
[01:16.95] That's never how it used to be, what happened to all that energy
[01:23.16] You took one too many liberties, I'm tired of being afraid
[01:29.58] So after the fight she took flight hiding swollen eyes and a wounded pride
[01:35.86] The best years of her life denied is sold for liquid shares
[01:41.91] And the lights in the late night lock-in
[01:45.71] Have faded away when he gets in
[01:49.00] The girl from fifteen years ago
[01:52.13] Has packed and gone away
[01:55.37] And the victims of their world
[01:58.57] Are advertised on posters
[02:02.11] Just a beach and a pretty girl
[02:05.05] You just take this potion
[02:07.77] It's another week till his check comes through
[02:13.30] He's got a fiver left to spend on food
[02:16.24] The doors of the bar are open and he breaks another rule
[02:22.46] But he sits on the stool that bears his name
[02:26.06] He's got a favorite glass an' is called the same
[02:29.15] He's never been kept waiting, 'cause he pays the landlord's wage
[02:35.32] And the lights in the late night lock-in
[02:38.61] Have faded away when he gets in
[02:42.04] The girl from fifteen years ago
[02:45.23] Has packed and gone away
[02:48.32] The lights in the late night lock-in
[02:51.50] Have faded away when he gets in
[02:55.05] The girl from fifteen years ago
[02:58.39] Has packed and gone away
