Community Centre

Well the sky’s turning purple

Above the community centre

And I’m sitting in a circle

Telling my secrets to strangers

And they say I’ve got a problem

But I don’t know that I’ve got one

‘Cause you never know that you’ve got one

‘Til someone comes along and spots one

They say it’s the hardest step

But it’s the first one of many

And my feet are stuck to the ground

And I can’t seem to take any

I could tell them I just came

For the free cup of tea and the biscuit

And make my way towards the door

But I don’t think I can risk it

‘Cause I never wanted to stay

But the morning came so soon

And we all know the words

But we just sing them out of tune

‘Cause I had my first drink when I was fourteen

And I knew that I was in trouble

‘Cause I woke up the next morning

With my face down in the rubble

And everyone was drinking singles

I pour myself a double

I just needed a little bit more

And now I’m sitting here with my name badge

And I’m listening to the same sad stories

About their old dads

Who’re making all the same

Bad turning’s at their crossroads

And drowning all their sorrows

Without any lifeguard around

Oh no, I never wanted to stay

But the morning came so soon

And oh, we all know the words

But we just sing them out of tune

And oh, oh no

And the sky’s turning dark

So we step out into the car-park

And I see you all same place, same time next week

But before we go our separate way

Theres just one thing I’d like to say is

Anybody up for a drink
