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 x 2 And the sky's turning dark So we step out into the car-park And I see you all same time, same place next week But before we go our separate ways Theres just one thing I'd like to say is, *mute* Anybody up for a drink
