Stories Of Me Lyrics - Paul Kelly And The Messengers

Paul Kelly (Mushroom) 

Ever since you said goodbye 

I've had a reputation 

I'm not drinking on the sly 

I'm the star attraction 

Every morning I wake up 

Fill my cup and listen bitterly 

To stories of me 

They say a man is going 'round 

He looks a lot like me 

They say that man is going down 

It's looking pretty likely 

Every morning he wakes 

Fills his cup and listens shamefully 

To stories of me 

Everybody come on down 

Set 'em up and pass 'em round 

We're all here for a drowning 

I was down at Baker's Hall 

I heard somebody talking 

That's the last thing I recall 

Then my mind went walking 

I woke up with a heavy head 

On a hard bed trying to believe 

These stories of me 

Yeah I woke up in a stranger's bed 

Wondering about the things she said to me 

These stories of me
