lyrics

Drinking to the depths of despair
Where was I?
Adrift in Brighton
Nothing beats the sting of the waves
Nothing beats the sting of the waves

Do you think we could go somewhere remote?
I don’t like it here, I’m frightened
I I don’t want to drink anymore
Why raise a glass to abject failure

Hangover Square is where you’ll find me waiting for you

Why must you be so inhumane
All I’ve ever done was for you
In a cottage, together in the country
And nothing but the sun in our eyes

Why do you keep bringing me here
I don’t like these types you cling to
Your friends look through me drinking my gin
Oh what’s the point? So raise your glass to

Hangover Square is where you’ll find me waiting for you

Walking to Hove
The feel of death in my bones
Needing some warmth
The rain is cold and cruel
Her laughter brings on the tears
Abused for too many years
How could this have happened
When my intentions are pure

I climb the stairs broken and cold
To the room on one would visit
I hatch a plan to make it all right
That wretch and friends will pay their debts in
Hangover Square
