Prize Lyrics

Prize lyrics

Well, we were talking and we were drinking

Letting the fat flow go

And we were asking and we were thinking

In the belly of a bar



It was easy almost indifferent

Until my heckles rise

What's that you're asking if I remember?

The pub walls are dissolving



The guilt was thin then, his hair long

Brown to match his eyes

It's none of your business what his name was

Would I even get a prize?



There's been a hundred and that's not boasting

Just the ways of this world

How dare he even ask this?

These pub walls are drowning



Your glass is empty just like your heard

It's these times I don't know you

And how about you can you remember?

You shake your head and say, "Drunk"



It's a small thing, why am I angry?

These words are signs of warning

Because behind them there's the implication

The pub is burning down



So do I get a prize for remembering that first time?

Do I get a prize for remembering his name?
