Half Price Drinks Songtext
von Mick Farren

Half price drinks
And the early evening crowd
Comes hustling through
Half price drinks
And there′s always one who
Has to make a grab for you
Half price drinks
But the band ain't drunk enough
To sound like it was worth a damn
And me?
I just sit here in the corner
Wondering who I am


Half price drinks
And some just use the place
To come in out of the rain
Half price drinks
Cheat on the wife and
Get back home on the midnight train
Half price drinks
And the secretary trails back
To flat and cat and bedtime fear
And me?
I just sit here in the corner
Wondering why I′m here

Did some fool call this the happy hour?
They never saw the drunks
Who can't face the journey home
Did some fool call this the happy hour?
They never saw the working girls
Early shift the so alone

Half price drinks
And the juke box does
Big business on suburban pain
Half price drinks
And sleazy fumblings that
Ain't worth the strain
Half price drinks
Did anybody promise you it′d
End up right?
And me?
I just sit here in the corner
Wondering how to make it through the night
