Paintbox - Richard Wright
Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules, trying to impress
But feeling rather empty
I had another drink
What a way to spend that ev'ning!
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
They're in the scene
Oh I should have been far away
Getting up, I feel so bad
Remembering what's been before
I open the door
Then I forget
The telephone rings and someone speaks
She would very much like to go out to a show
So what can I do?
I can't think what to say
She'll see thru anyway
Out of the frontdoor I go
Traffic moving rather slow - arriving late
There she waits looking very angry
As cross as she can be
Getting up, I feel so bad
Remembering what's been before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
