This is a song that was written by myself and my good friend karen Wilmot while she was visiting me in South Africa. It is written for a TV synch opportunity. They want a song about somebody going on an extended bender.

He woke up this morning
Hung over again
Her side of the bed
was empty and cold
The smell of her perfume
already grown old
Hanging at bars
he wants to go home
Hiding his scars
Knocked down and alone
Spilling his drink
and spilling his words
Who know him now
Who wants to know him
Who wants to know him
He gets through the long day
Lays brick upon brick
Flaskful of whisky
Close by his side
His world is collapsing
One drink at a time
Hanging at bars
he wants to go home
Hiding his scars
Knocked down and alone
Spilling his drink
and spilling his words
Who know him now
Who wants to know him
Who wants to know him
Throw out on the street
he stumbles away
Keeps walking on
No reason to stay
Hanging at bars
he wants to go home
Hiding his scars
Knocked down and alone
Spilling his drink
and spilling his words
Who know him now
Who wants to know him
Who wants to know him
