Straight Lines by The Shifters Lyrics

Well, I'm here in the town
And there's no way around
For I have my obligations
That I really ought to go
But I've only got a twenty
And we know that's just two pints
I got a deal with the door
That's gonna be another tenner
And I oughta do it better

Straight forward lines
From now on
I've had enough
Of their pressure
Matches, chats
Another date of the week
Sat back down
In the corner

Ah, now you've got your pill
And I've crossed the will
To make it to another
So why head home?
To get a little hazy
And to play my favourite records
However loud I'd like
So wish me on like a light
And I'll pick up my pizza
Straight forward lines
From now on
I've had enough
Of their pressure
Matches, chats
Another date of the week
Sat back down
In the corner

So I plucked a little tune
All alone in my room
And I couldn't feel much better
But then the tune stopped working out
So I put back on my record
And all goes back to normal
But then I get the guilt
From all the fun being had
But there aren't memories on my phone

That's straight lines from here
(From here)
That's straight lines from here
(From here)
