Bit a this, bit a that...

So, you thought that you’d come out tonight

Finally built up the courage after the last fright

Day and night, hanging in there

Hoping everything will turn out alright.

Rest assured and enjoy the peace of mind

If you look around you will find

A bunch of happy lunatics having a drink

Sharing the shit they think

With anyone who will listen for long enough

These Friday nights can get rough

But never at the Sauce of course.

This is a conducive space

Nothings particularly in your face

Settle down relax, take off your shoes and socks

Welcome to the alumni of hard knocks

We’ve all been around a few blocks

Did our time drank the wine

At the end of the ceremony

When everyone clapped

And stood showing their teeth

Shining in the afterglow of a spotlight

That was not theirs on the night

And would never be for far too many

As they get caught up and trod down

And shoved around until they bend

And break and finally succumb

Or simply pick up a gun one day

And kill the wife and the only child

And in a moment with thoughts running wild

They change their minds but it is too late

And the neighbour rushing in at the gate

Hears another shot that marks the fate

Of the guy who sat in the corner

Always alone and on his own

Smiling and polite every night

For a thousand weeks

As he seeks a pleasant escape

In the embrace of the grape.
