In the corner he sits alone
Same chair same paper
Every day's a clone
The Daily Mirror his constant friend
A ritual repeated till the bitter end
But what lies beyond this haze?
What secrets hide behind his gaze?
A life unlived or one undone?
We wonder as the pints are gone
A life unlived or one undone?
We wonder as the pints are gone
His eyes scan the headlines lost in time
A world outside he'll never align
The news repeats a Groundhog Day
As he nurses his pint in a drunken way
But what lies beyond this haze?
What secrets hide behind his gaze?
A life unlived or one undone?
We wonder as the pints are gone
A life unlived or one undone?
We wonder as the pints are gone
Does he dream of love of distant shores?
Or is it just the whiskey that he adores?
A family waiting or a solitary night?
We'll never know as he stumbles out of sight
But what lies beyond this haze?
What secrets hide behind his gaze?
A life unlived or one undone?
We wonder as the pints are gone
A life unlived or one undone?
We wonder as the pints are gone
