On That Note: A Bar Song

[pourcyne]

Who counts the money underneath the bar?
Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars?
Don't tell us you need us 'cause we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools

Well, I met a girl at the Rainbow bar
She asked me if I'd beat her
She took me back to the Hyatt House
I don't want to talk about it

 

[CivEFootball]

I like the bartender (Ooh, if you lookin' for me)
I'm at the bar with her (Oh oh oh uh-huh, okay)
I like the bartender (Yeah, if you lookin' for me)
I'm at the bar with her

 

[pourcyne]

At a tombstone bar
In a jukejoint car
He made a stop
Just long enough
To grab a handle off the top

 

[pourcyne]

Cruise into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She's a long lost love at first bite
Baby, maybe you're wrong, but you know it's all right
That's right

 

[pourcyne]

Fist-bump if you have this on vinyl, too...

Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road to try to make ends meet
Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
No, we didn't have much money
We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play
People came alive

 

[pourcyne]

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em

 

[pourcyne]

So I stop in the local bar you know people,
I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender
Said "Look man, come down here", he got down there
So what you want?

“From distant star to this here bar.”

 

[pourcyne]

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

Buona notta, Mean Dean. Thanks for another fine Una Nota.

It's happy hour again
I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them
And they're happy, it's a lovely place to be
Happy that the fire's real, the bar man is a she

Good find! Somehow, that song had slipped me-memory.

Hush fell over the pool room

Yeah, that was kind of weird, but we're back in the club
Buying up the bar so the groupies show us love
