Whiskey Remorse Lyrics - The B-sides: Lousy With Love - Del Amitri

There is a girl I used to know 

She had a hundred ways of hurting you, and so 

I packed my bags and left her as she watched some TV show, 

There is a girl I used to know. 

There is a town I used to love 

It once contained most everything I ever dared dream of. 

My baby in the basement as the traffic trolled above, 

There is a town I used to love. 

There is a bar I used to know 

I still sometimes drop by when I have no place else to go. 

It's where the kings of comedy compare their tattered souls, 

There is a bar I used to know. 

So buy me one more drink before you go, 

Or lend me a twenty and I'll get drunk on my own. 

You always find some company come in to use the phone, 

Someone who can't stand to see a friend go home alone. 

There is a joke I used to tell 

Some guy who gets three wishes, ends up wasting them to hell. 

And in the end, in misery, he tells the joke himself: 

There is a guy I used to know 

He once had everything that any man could hope. 

And now he sits here drinking with a tale that always goes: 

"There is a girl I used to know.."
