Verse 1
Last night I had too much to drink,
Sitting in a club with so many fools, playing to rules,
Trying to impress, and feeling rather empty,
I had a - nother drink, a drink, a drink, a drink, a drink...
...a drink!

Verse 2
What a way to spend that evening,
They all turn up with their friends, playing their games,
They're in the scene, oh, I should have been...
Far-------- a - way, away, away, away, away!

Verse 3
The telephone rings, and someone speaks,
She would very much like to go ...out to a show,
So, what can I do? I can't think what to say,
She sees through any - way, a way, a way, a way, a way...
...a way!

Verse 4
Out of the front door I go,
Traffic's moving rather slow, arriving late,
There she waits, looking very angry,
As cross as she can be, a - be, a - be, a - be, a - be!
