lyrics

Whenever I call you on the phone
You make excuses
yeah you say you've grown
And you're not into that stuff anymore

But I'll tell you what
I thought I knew
We were different me and you

Not like the rest drinking snakebite and black
Then dancing all night to the same old track
Every time

Tell me what have you done with it
That fine old reckless spirit
The old Withnailian spirit

Oh what's the use in being so mature
You're just a beggar standing
At a rich man's door
Saying let me in I want to be
Just like you

It hurts me now
When you never show your face
I'm on my own with alll these other people

Come on out
Just one more time
For a night of song dance drink and rhyme
Or you could stay at home
Fill your shotgun full of wine
