I Work In A Saloon Lyrics - Arab Strap

I work in a saloon, 

Pulling shit pints for shit wages. 

It's a busy night tonight 

And the bar is full 

Of all the girls I've ever shagged, 

Or tampered with, or kissed, 

Or even just fancied. 

A pub full of conquests, knockbacks. 

Between the laughter I can hear my name and then, 

Through the gap between the swing doors and floor, 

I see your feet. 

You push open the doors and walk in and 

As always all heads turn. 

And the room becomes silent, 

except for the sound of your DM's scuffing on the floor. 

You stroll through the jealous gazes straight to the bar, 

Smile, and ask me for some exotic cocktail 

But I don't know how to make it. 

So you just shrug, smile again, turn around and leave. 

I pull another pint.
