lyrics

Forks in the sink, blue gloves by the tray

Fluorescent hum over chip fat and gray

Five to six ten, I wipe down the rail

My name on the rota, bent with the nail

Till the cleaner gets the mop and the key

Till the shutter comes down by the sea

I hate this floor, but I know every mark

Every chipped tile, every cold door in the dark

One last round, one last round

One last round, one last round

Hands in my pockets, feet on the ground

One last round, one last round

Back room smells like bleach and old tea

The till screen flashes at six twenty-three

Mick from the yard bangs the hatch with a grin

Says, "You’re out for a pint when you clock this in"

Till the last bus groans past Kirkgate

Till my boots hit the mat at the gate

I curse this place, but I know the sound

Of the van keys ringing when the day shuts down

One last round, one last round

One last round, one last round

Hands in my pockets, feet on the ground

One last round, one last round

Half-used sponge, cracked mug, bent tin lid

The radio hisses where the kettle just skidded

I’ll miss the graft, I’ll miss the crew

I’ll miss the mad little mess I’ve lived through

One last round, one last round

One last round, one last round

Hands in my pockets, feet on the ground

One last round, one last round
