[Intro: Tremolo Guitar and Organ] [Verse 1] Same stool at the end of the Regency bar Same grey coat still wet from the rain I lay down a note and I tap on the wood And I call out for Eddie by name But Eddie keeps polishing glasses His eyes pass me by like a draught And the clock on the wall says a quarter to one Like it stopped the last time I laughed [Chorus] Nobody pours for me now Nobody turns when I call I'm talking to smoke in a room full of friends And my shadow don't land on the wall Nobody pours for me now Lord, I wonder what I've done wrong I'm still keeping time in the Regency bar But the band won't play my old song [Verse 2] There's a girl in blue by the window Who once wore my mother's ring Now she's laughing along with a Sunday suit Who's paying for everything I lean in close and I whisper The words that I said long ago But she shivers and reaches for her coat Says this room's gone as cold as the snow [Chorus] Nobody pours for me now Nobody turns when I call I'm talking to smoke in a room full of friends And my shadow don't land on the wall Nobody pours for me now Lord, I wonder what I've done wrong I'm still keeping time in the Regency bar But the band won't play my old song [Instrumental Break: Reverb Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Then I see it there behind the till My face inside a frame With a black ribbon tied round the corner And a date beneath my name And I remember the rain on the coast road The lights that came out of the night I never did finish that drink, Eddie So I'm back here to finish it tonight [Final Chorus] Nobody pours for me now Nobody turns when I call Just a coat on a hook and a stool no one takes And a picture that hangs on the wall Nobody pours for me now But I'll keep coming back all the same Till the lights go down in the Regency bar And somebody calls out my name [Outro: Organ Fade] Quarter to one Quarter to one
