Down At Monty's lyrics

The biggest laugh to be had in town Is down at monty's The paint is drying on the skirting board The place is empty I use the submarine ashtray So it feels wanted Nicotine stains will once again Coat walls at monty's But what is this apologetic fanfare? I hope there's life after death Backstage at the aftermath The manager's pat In two years from now Who knows where you're at The jokes are hanging saliva Off his spent mouth His lines on public lips North west and east and south The biggest laugh to be had in town Was down at monty's The paint's dried and it's curling up The joint lies empty
