[Verse 1]
Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules
Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
I had another drink (Drink – a – drink – a – drink – a – drink)
(Ah)

[Verse 2]
What a way to spend that evening
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
They're in the scene I should have been
Far away (Away – away – away – away – away)

[Hook]
Getting up, I feel as if I’m remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget

[Verse 3]
The telephone rings and someone speaks
She would very much like to go out to a show
So what can I do? — I can’t think what to say
She sees through anyway (Away – away – away – away – away)

[Verse 4]
Out of the front door I go
Traffic’s moving rather slow
Arriving late
There she waits, looking very angry
As cross as she can be (Be – a – be – a – be – a – be – a – be)

[Hook]
Getting up, I feel as if I’m remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
