Thanks for the dinner, thanks for the wine It's been a hell of an evening and I've had a good time And now that it's over, well let's get it straight Don't think that I'm stupid, that I took the bait I know you're in trouble and you're on the mat So before you get busy, well here's where it's at Where were you when I needed you Where were you at the fall Where were you when the light went out You were nowhere at all Danny's a junkie and Susie's on bail And Jimmy's still there in that Mexican jail And while you've been sitting with your face in your food Lucy's out there in that Norwegian wood You think you've got troubles, well what do you know And as for the favour you know where to go Where were you when I needed you Where were you at the fall Where were you when the light went out You were nowhere at all You were the hero, you were the best I was the fool that got left with the mess And while you were living it up on the coast Yours truly was stuck here with a room full of ghosts So hear what I tell you, you miserable clown We're all gonna help you, on your way down Where were you when I needed you Where were you at the fall Where were you when the light went out You were nowhere at all Where were you when I needed you Where were you at the fall Where were you when the light went out You were nowhere at all
