about

A drunken eastern European style gypsy waltz

lyrics

It's always the same said the girl in the high heeled shoes
If time is a bottle, I am the wine
I could stroke your ego if you could mine
It won't take up your life
just a little of your time
and maybe just a bottle of your finest

I am pushed, pulled, warn
any thread of innocence left now has torn
i was a dreamer
but now life makes no sense at all

Its always the same said the man in the game and the three piece suit
If time is a wall, I am the bricks
but the wall's sure to fall cause it's made out of shit
oh this heart is a hangnail
snagged on loose threads of broken dreams
teasing at the seems of my life
so I'm hanging my hopes now on whisky and dry
Oh it's always the same
said the broken down man in the bar at the end of the road
the premier keeps ignoring my invitations he'll have to go
we could write off our wrongs he said
with some sorry arse songs instead
it's like making fine wine you have to bruise the vine
I could use a taste of your finest this time

I am pushed, pulled, warn
any drop of innocence left now has drawn
I was a schemer
but life to me is a dilettante debutant ball

I am pushed, pulled, warn
any thread of innocence left now has torn
i was a dreamer
but now life makes no sense at all
