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 been done

Every man on a razors edge

Someone has used us to shoot 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

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

Every man on a razors edge

Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun

We where 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 work life out

Don't let down moods entrance you

Take the wine and shout ( X2)



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

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