Paintbox lyrics
by Pink Floyd
[Verse 1]
Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules, trying to impress
But feeling rather empty
I had another drink (A drink, a drink, a drink, a drink, a drink, ah)
[Verse 2]
What a way to spend that evening
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game, they're in the scene
Oh, I should have been
Far away (Away, away, away, away, away)
[Chorus]
Getting up, I feel so bad
Remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
[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 anyway (Away, away, away, away, away)
[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, a-be)
[Chorus]
Getting up, I feel so bad
Remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget it
