Nigel Stonier - One For The Ditch lyrics

Goodnight you heroes, you bar-stool De Niro's Here's one for the ditch Here's one for the chancers to learn And the lovers to sing For the place just got fuller of chaos and colour The pool table prophets came free But here's one for the ditch With the world disappearing The black fog is clearing Where else would you be? Goodnight you boy racers, you ambulance chasers Here's one for the ditch Here's one for the dealers to learn And the dreamers to sing We've all got different names for the shortfalls and shames When, eventually, they become clear But here's one for the ditch 'Cause there's no retribution Just sweet absolution That waits for you here Fiddles and drums suit you just fine Everyone's Irish by quarter past nine So somebody just make a deal with the moon And don't let the morning come knocking too soon Goodnight you do-rights, you laddettes and luddites Here's one for the ditch Here's one for the brothers to learn And the sisters to sing Here's one for distraction that kept you from action From being the person you might And here's one for the ditch And here's a toast to the mess And a drunkard's "God bless" Then it's "thank you, goodnight" Here's one for distraction that kept you from action From being the person you might And here's one for the ditch And here's a toast to the mess And a drunkard's "God bless" Then it's "thank you, goodnight"
