‘Paintbox’ by Pink Floyd (Song)

Lyrics:

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 (6x)

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 (6x)

Getting up, I feel as if
I’m remembering what’s been before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget

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 (6x)

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
Be, a be (5x)

Getting up, I feel as if
I’m remembering what’s been before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
