lyrics

You swore it at the pool hall, Tuesday, half past ten

Ash on your boot, cheap beer on your grin again

Wrote it on a coaster with a busted blue Bic

Left it in my ashtray, said, “I’m dead serious, Mick”

Now the rain’s on Brunswick, thin and mean

And I still keep that coaster by the kettle machine

You said, “Same time next week,” with a shaky laugh

I kept my side of the deal, I held the glass

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

I waited by the servo near the tram line bend

With a wool coat damp and your old text on send

Nine-fifteen, then ten, with the gum stuck in my shoe

Your mate came out smoking and said, “He’s coming through”

But the bottle on the table, it still had your name

And the brown paper ring marks stayed the same

I laughed so hard my teeth felt loose

I kept your drunk promise like a noose

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

Down on Sydney Road, in the cold chip shop light

I watched the vinegar drip and the bins in the night

You showed with a cracked lip and a fresh black eye

Said, “I meant it then,” and you wouldn’t meet my eye

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would

You said you would
