  • As he rails one again
    He turns to me and says
    "Imagine Boris in 'ere in full police gear tonight"
    He said, "It's tougher sentences, that's what they're trying"
    But we've seen how that went down stateside, it didn't fly

    It's that time of the year again, when your past comes home
    And everybody I've ever known wants it large
    Jimmy's in my ear again with a motormouth
    God, I love the kid, but we need to slow it down

    Whoa, back to the bathroom, back to the core
    For another wild, long lie
    Back to the kitchen
    Sprawled on the floor
    For another wild, long lie
    And I'll tell it all night

    Everybody's dying for their turn to pull out anecdotes fraught with bloody lies
    And I've gone quiet 'cause my heart is still choking up from a love I tore apart
    Oh, I've got so much pain here, yeah, so much love
    But it's drowning every inch of my soul

    So, I go back to the bathroom
    I'll line you up
    For another wild, long lie
    Back to the kitchen
    Sprawled on the floor
    For another wild, long lie
    Back to the bathroom
    I'll line 'em up
    For another wild, long lie
    Back to the kitchen
    Sprawled on the floor
    For another wild, long lie
    And I'll tell it all night

    Think I need to leave this town
    I think I need to leave this town
    I think I need to leave this town
    Before I go down
    I think I need to leave this town
    'Fore I go down

    Back to the bathroom
    I'll line you up
    For another wild, long lie
    Back to the kitchen
    Sprawled on the floor
    For another wild, long lie
    Back to the bathroom
    I'll line 'em up
    For another wild, long lie
    Back to the kitchen
    Sprawled on the floor
    For another wild, long lie
    And I'll tell it all night

    And I'll tell it all night Writer/s: Sam Fender
