[00:00:00] Liars' Bar - Beautiful South

[00:00:00] Written by：Paul Heaton/Dave Rotheray

[00:00:24] Well sitting in a bar alone where no-one knows your name

[00:00:29] Is like laying in a graveyard wide awake

[00:00:35] You're scared that if you cough or yawn you might wake up the dead

[00:00:40] So pretend to read a paper or just drink instead

[00:00:46] I'm a stand-up comedian but I'd sit down if I could

[00:00:51] The world just seems to want folk like me to stand

[00:00:57] And the punch-lines seem to disappear like clouds across the sky

[00:01:02] And the laughter could be real or could be canned

[00:01:08] Rum by the kettle drum

[00:01:10] Whiskey by the jar

[00:01:15] At Liars' Bar

[00:01:27] Well living with a lying man could never really hurt

[00:01:32] But living with a drunk well no-one deserves

[00:01:38] And you're looking for your husband you're not sure he's still alive

[00:01:44] Don't bother with the cemetery he'll be down at liar's dive

[00:01:50] I'm a travelling businessman I just stopped in for one drink

[00:01:55] You'll find that I'm not like the other men

[00:02:01] Their noses are red whilst mine is only pink

[00:02:06] And they didn't choose their drink their drink chose them

[00:02:13] Rum by the kettle drum

[00:02:15] Whiskey by the jar

[00:02:20] At Liars' Bar

[00:02:32] And the grave-digger's smiling at his reflection in his spade

[00:02:38] He's visiting the seediest the shallowest of graves

[00:02:44] The vocal chords of elephants and the characters of mice

[00:02:49] They're singing "whisky whisky" so good they named it twice

[00:03:01] And son this is rule one:

[00:03:06] Well don't pass buildings with lights on if I said that I did I'd have lied

[00:03:12] 'Cause what looks like a Chinese restaurant may have Chinese New Year inside

[00:03:18] And son all my life I've been searching the bars I've been in I forget

[00:03:23] The lights outside ever brighter but a light on the inside not yet

[00:03:29] Rum by the kettle drum

[00:03:32] Whiskey by the jar

[00:03:37] At Liars' Bar

[00:03:49] And he's a world-wide traveller he's not like me or you

[00:03:54] But he comes in mighty regular for one who's passing through

[00:04:00] That one came in his work clothes he's missed his last bus home

[00:04:06] He's missed a hell of a lot of buses for a man who wants to roam

[00:04:12] You'll never get to Rome son

[00:04:18] And son this is rule two:

[00:04:23] If I look rough I am rough if I look sad I am

[00:04:29] If I look broke am I broke just a broke down piece of man

[00:04:41] I don't mean to get sad on you at all but this is the truth:

[00:04:46] I've turned over enough leaves to fill an autumn if I had one final wish

[00:04:51] I'd be your slave for a decade if you could take me away from this pish

[00:04:57] If you took me away from this I'd be different you'd see

[00:05:03] 'Cause I didn't choose the drink a drink just chose me

[00:05:09] Rum by the kettle drum

[00:05:12] Whiskey by the jar

[00:05:17] At Liars' Bar Well I'm smoking like a chimley And I'm drinking like a fish At Liars' Bar
