Grin And Tonic Lyrics - Singles - Coates

I've seen a girl with gin and tonic 

Her life's sorrows stamped upon it 

She dreams of a life once made 

In a blizzard in a in a flash hotel 

She can't handle her money setback 

This city won't give her old life back 

She just craves wealth and fame 

Its just the way she's made 

I've seen it, I've breathed it 

Its pressed all over your face 

You're so ashamed, don't blame yourself 

You're not the only one, who's on the run 

You take your time, don't break your mind 

You're not the only one, who's gone too long 

She leaves every night in tow 

With a fat lad with lots of doe 

She dreams of a night alone 

Bad habits break the dream 

And now its time to point the finger 

No more money just time to linger on 

Accusation and tax evasion 

It's these super injunctions that we seek 

I've seen it, I've read it 

Its smeared all over your face 

You're so ashamed, don't blame yourself 

You're not the only one, who's on the run 

You take your time, don't break your mind 

You're not the only one, who's gone too long 

That girl she's got a grin and tonic 

No more sorrows stamped upon it 

Lost dreams of a life once made 

These are the times that we live in
