Community Centre Songtext
von Passenger

Well the sky′s turnin' purple
Above the community centre
And I′m sittin' 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 biscut
And make my way towards the door
But I don't think I can risk it 'cause

I never wanted to stay
But the mornin′ 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 14
And I knew that I was in trouble
'Cause I woke up the next mornin′
With my face down in the rubble
And everyone was drinkin' singles
I pour myself a double
I just needed a little bit more

And now I′m sittin' here with my name badge
And I′m listenin' to the same sad
Stories about their old dads
Who're makin′ all the same bad
Turnin′s at their crossroads
And drownin' all their sorrows
Without any lifeguard around

Oh-no
I never wanted to stay
But the mornin′ came so soon


And oh, we all know the words
But we just sing them out of tune
And oh, oh, oh-no

And the sky's turnin′ dark
So we step out into the car-park
And I see you all same place, same time next week but
Before we go our separate ways
Theres just one thing I'd like to say is
Anybody up for a drink
