Lyrics
Whiskey-A-Go-Go
(c) 2008 Murray Webster
Verse 1
It was one o'clock in the morning
Where the streets of Soho shine
Some people say it's the paving of gold
It was the rain again that time
I was coming down from the bandstand
And the sound of your applause
Although it was so many years ago
It seems the curtain never falls
PreChorus
'cos I can hear the banging of the drum still ringing in my ear
Chorus
Stepping out from the Whiskey-A-Go-Go
Out into the bittersweet air
I couldn't tell where my footsteps were going
I only know I'm still getting there
Stepping out from the Whiskey-A-Go-Go
Out into the shadow it cast
I never knew all those ties would be broken
And only the memory would last
And the memory still lasts
Verse 2
Now it's one o'clock in the morning
And the whisky's all drunk dry
I fill my songs with heady words
And try to reach that same old high
PreChorus
'cos I still hear the crashing of the cymbals ringing in my ear
Chorus
Bridge
Well the spirit soothed like empty fame
And it numbed me from this lonely pain
I'm still trying to tell my point of view
I'm standing on this stage once again and reaching out to you
Chorus (half tacet)
Chorus
