One Year of Mornings

V6

[INSTRUMENTAL — soft kick, warm pads, piano far off] [VERSE 1 — close, even] One year today, no drama Just me at the same pub Same corner, same lads Different glass in my hand Orange juice and lemonade Lee calls it a sunrise I let him have that one It makes the table comfortable [VERSE 2 — clipped] Nobody makes it a thing That's why they're still my mates Terry slides his peanuts over Without a word, legend At ten I do the old yawn The one that means I'm off Same exit, same door frame Just a different man walking [INSTRUMENTAL — bass rolls, chops skip] [HOOK — steady, proud chant] Still here, still dry (still dry) Still here, still dry One year of mornings Still here, still dry (still dry) Still here, still dry One year of mornings [VERSE 3 — quieter] Driving home past the offie Hands at ten and two The old voice says "just one" The new one says "nice try" I keep the coin they gave me In the tray where the fags were One year of mornings, mate I remember all of them [HOOK — steady, proud chant] Still here, still dry (still dry) Still here, still dry One year of mornings Still here, still dry (still dry) Still here, still dry One year of mornings [BRIDGE — voice nearly alone, hats only] Nobody claps for Tuesday Nobody throws a party You just wake up, and wake up And wake up, and wake up [FINAL HOOK — fullest] Still here, still dry (still dry) Still here, still dry One year of mornings Still here, still dry (still dry) Still here, still dry One year of mornings [OUTRO — fragments, soft] One year of mornings [INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO — pads hold, hats tick out]
