Short Way Home

If you want I can keep on trying to break through this brick wall

But I'm out of cash and my liver's full

Sometimes I feel like dying more than usual

Thanks for tonight, but I've got to go

It's an after party, after party

And naughty things getting off with me

At least it's regularly

It's all good fun at the time

But by the time my thumbs are dry

I'm left with a headache and bloodshot eyes

We could walk the short way home

The wind's still cold and I forgot my coat

Typical, just starting to get high

I wish I could be anywhere but here

But it's my own fault and I know

I'd still the say the same at home

Friday night and I'm in my pyjamas

With a kid film ready to go

Then I get the call adrenaline flows

I would rather stay home in my bedroom safe in my own house

I don't want to leave, but I don't want to miss out

It's an after party, after party

And naughty things getting off with me

At least it's regularly

It's all good fun at the time

But by the time my thumbs are dry

I'm left with a headache and bloodshot eyes

We could walk the short way home

The wind's still cold and I forgot my coat

Typical, just starting to get high

I wish I could be anywhere but here

But it's my own fault and I know I'd still say the same at home

We could walk the short way home

The wind's still cold and I forgot my coat

Typical, just starting to get high

I wish I could be anywhere but here

But it's my own fault and I know I'd still say the same at home
