Del Amitri - Whiskey Remorse lyrics

There is a girl I used to know She had a hundred ways of hurting and so I packed my bags and left her as she watched some TV show There is a girl I used to know There is a town I used to love It once contained most everything I'd ever dare dreamed of Me and my baby in the basement whilst the traffic trawled above There is a town I used to love There is a bar I used to know I still sometimes drop by when I have no place left to go It's where the kings of comedy compare their tattered souls There is a bar I used to know So buy me one more drink before you go Or lend me a twenty and I'll get drunk on my own You always find some company, who come in to use the phone Someone who can't stand to see a friend go home alone There is a joke I used to tell Some guy who gets three wishes, ends up wasting them to hell And in the end in misery, he tells the joke himself There is a guy I used to know He once had everything that any man could hope Now he sits here drinking with a tale that always goes 'There is a girl I used to know'
