[Verse 1] The girl at the reception desk, Man she's pretty "How long you staying here?" It feels like a test "Just the one night, darling my dear" My bags stay unpacked, I don't need a thing, I look into the night, What's she gonna bring... The room smells of lost hope, A sorry soul, who couldn't cope The shower's shit, I don't wanna shave I head to the bar, downing drinks I don't crave [Chorus] [Style: High energy, full band kicks in] Another room, another view Another night of getting through I'm not gonna sit and weep 'Cause I'm not a weeping willow I'm trying to catch an eye I wanna get laid, I'm not gonna lie But the bar shuts at two, and My thoughts are stuck on you [Verse 2] The Reception girl's, working the bar, She keeps laughing, going well so far She laughs and touches her hair It's light, or mousy or maybe fair She says she's got an early start I feel a beat, in my heart I buy another drink I don't want Just to keep myself down here [Chorus] [Style: High energy, full band] Another room, another view Another night of getting through I'm not gonna sit and weep 'Cause I'm not a weeping willow I'm trying to catch an eye I wanna get laid, I'm not gonna lie But the bar shuts at two, and My thoughts are stuck on you [Bridge] [Style: Tempo drops, heavy floor-tom beat, raw spoken-sung delivery] Her boyfriend comes, I'm outta luck I ain't gonna get My fuck I just need a body Anybody Somebody... [Verse 3] [Style: Stripped back acoustic, raw and gravelly] Head to bed, too tired To sleep TV's on, Babe Station An old repeat I'm looking for somebody But I ain't fucking paying I'd get on my knees, If I believed in praying I just need a body Anybody Somebody [Guitar Solo] [Style: Fast, wild accordion and fiddle dual solo, energetic Celtic punk breakdown] [Outro] [Style: Tempo slows slightly, rolling rhythm, emotional vocal delivery] Next destination remains unknown My heart's still heavy as a stone Another town, darling Rolling out of view Another town, darling And I'm still missing you [Fade] [Ending: Lonesome acoustic strum and sustained accordion drone, quiet finish]
