Bill Coleman - The Pull Of The Pint lyrics

When you cried you were lost, you fell asleep When you dreamed you believed When you lied you only lied unto yourself And when you died you could see I never cried the way you did I didn't like it when you yelled I never felt the way you felt I didn't like it when you prayed I thought you fooled yoursef When you were shy you got drunk When you were drunk you were a fool When you were a fool you fell apart When you fell apart you picked yourself up again Didn't you? This ain't a lesson for your day its just a game you've got to play Its just a lie you've got to live Its just a smile you've got to fake so you're controllable And it helps you not to break This is a crime you have to give to try to save your soul This is a lesson not a rule It wasn't easy when the penny dropped inside your head But now you know the joke you tell it to your friends and they're all When you were shy you got drunk When you were drunk you were a fool When you were a fool you fell apart When you fell apart you picked yourself up again Didn't you? When you were told you wouldn't bite it When you are old you will regret it When you were bad you tried to hide it When you were mad you just broke it And when you were laughing you were dry When you were crying you were high And every escape is just a lie Every escape is just a lie Every escape is just a lie Every escape is just a lie Cuz when you were shy you got drunk When you were drunk you were a fool When you were a fool you fell apart When you fell apart you built yourself up again Didn't you?
