Skint & Demoralised - A Few Quiet Drinks lyrics

A few quiet drinks with the music and the laughter It's festive and warm on a cold winter's night Last orders at midnight, we'll stay 'til just after And then make our way home, when we've been for a bite I turned-off my phone as we sat in the corner And it soon slips my mind as the evening progresses My girlfriend's at home, but I chose not to warn her I'm sure she won't mind all these girls in these dresses A few quiet drinks, nothing more, nothing less A few quiet drinks, oh with my friends... The drink seems to work, and I'm starting to dance There's a fine-looking blonde with a fine-looking smile My mates go berserk when I turn-down the chance She knows I'm quite fond, and she's known for a while Now it's not very big, and it's not very clever As the alcohol sinks to my stomach with a powerful force The lads go outside, leaving us two together There's no need to think; nature soon takes its course A few quiet drinks, nothing more, nothing less A few quiet drinks, oh with my friends... And I wake-up in the morning and cradle my head Oh there's feelings of sickness, feelings of dread I wait for the phone call to settle my fate Oh, I'll beg for forgiveness; too little, too late 'Cause you're the most valuable thing, that I've got Just a few quiet drinks, nothing more, nothing less But it cost, it cost me everything A few quiet drinks with the music and the laughter It's festive and warm on a cold winter's night
