Last night these two bouncers
And one of em’s alright

The other one’s the scary one
His way or no way, totalatarian
He’s got no time for you
Looking or breathing
How he don’t want you to
So step out the queue
___
He makes examples of you

And there’s nowt you can say
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay
And you realise then that it’s finally the time
To walk back past ten thousand eyes in the line

___[Riff 1]
And you can swap jumpers and make another move
Instilled in your brain you’ve got something to prove
To all the smirking faces and the boys in black
Why can’t they be pleasant?
Why can’t they have a laugh?
He’s got his hand in your chest

He wants to give you a duff
Well secrectly I think they want it all to kick off
They want, arms flying everywhere and

Bottles aswell it’s just
Something to talk about
A story to tell you

___[Riff 2]
Well I’m so glad they turned us all away we’ll put it down to fate
___[Riff 2]
I thought a thousand million things that I could never say this morning
_[Riff 2]
Got too deep, but how deep is too deep?
___[Riff 2]

This town’s a different town today
This town’s a different town to what it was last night
You couldn’t have done that on a Sunday..

That girl’s a different girl today
Said that girl’s a different girl to her you kissed last night
You couldn’t have done that on a Sunday Of course no.

Last night what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don’t make no sense anymore

Last night what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don’t make no sense anymore Oh!
