Where Were You

                                  Thanks for the dinner, thanks for the wine

It's been a hell of an evening and I've had a good time

And now that it's over, well let's get it straight

Don't think that I'm stupid, that I took the bait

I know you're in trouble and you're on the mat

So before you get busy, well here's where it's at



[Chorus]

Where were you when I needed you

Where were you at the fall

Where were you when the light went out

You were nowhere at all



Danny's a junkie and Susie's on bail

And Jimmy's still there in that Mexican jail

And while you've been sitting with your face in your food

Lucy's out there in that Norwegian wood

You think you've got troubles, well what do you know

And as for the favour you know where to go



[Chorus]



You were the hero, you were the best

I was the fool that got left with the mess

And while you were living it up on the coast

Yours truly was stuck here with a room full of ghosts

So hear what I tell you, you miserable clown

We're all gonna help you, on your way down



[Chorus: x2]
