A sad lonely guy with a whisky in an empty bar in a strange city
lollipopman
Story behind the song
Me, an ex drunk
Lyrics
Solitude a single malt whisky
in the bottom of a plain glass
Ice cubes it’s cold company
me alone in a dreary bar
City full of people I won’t know
alone with thoughts of no one
whisky an escape from my life
Living a sad separate life
Sip the last sip of my whisky
An empty glass in my hand
this guy doesn’t understand
a broken heart of a fellow man
Conversation dried up long ago
he doesn’t offer me the bottle
or another drink hopes I’ll go
The barman’s making it clear
wants to close get outta here
dancing coloured lights glow
flashing “open sign kills the lie
The nights turning to dawn
I wish I’d never ever been born
Push myself up start to sway
Another end of a sad lonely day
Bridge
Just a poor excuse for a man
That’s me that’s what I am
A whisky bottle my biggest fan
