Empty Glass

Why was I born today?

Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say

I never had a chance

But opportunity's now in my hands

I stand with my guitar

All I need's a mirror

Then I'm a star

I'm so sick of dud TV

Next time you switch on

You might see me

Oh, what a thrill for you

I've been there and gone there

I've lived there and bummed there

I've spinned there, I gave there

I drank there and I slaved there

I've had enough of the way things have been done

Every man on a razor's edge

Someone has used us to kill with the same gun

Killing each other by driving a wedge

My life's a mess, I wait for you to pass

I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass

Why was I born today?

Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say

I didn't get a chance

Opportunity is in my hands

I stand with my guitar

I need a mirror

Then I'm a star

I'm so sick of dud TV

Next time you switch on

You might see me

I've been there and gone there

I've lived there and bummed there

I've spinned there, I gave there

I drank there and I slaved there

I've had enough of the way things have been done

Hey hey, every man on a razor's edge

Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun

We were killing each other by driving a wedge

My life's a mess, I wait for you to pass

I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass

Don't worry, smile and dance

You just can't work life out

Don't let down moods entrance you

Take the wine and shout

My life's a mess, I wait for you to pass

I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
