Losing Streak by Alasdair Bouch

Lyrics:

There's something in the water, there's something in the breeze,
There's something in the way you looked at me.
And I swear that while my back was turned,
You slipped something in my drink,
A drop of hope, but I call it sympathy.

I've been on a losing streak that's longer than a mile.
We're searching for eternal love, but I'd settle for a smile.
The streets are slick with wishes that never came true,
But tonight that's gonna change 'cause I'm dreaming of you.

It seemed as if our stars were crossed, or maybe just our wires,
But you could put some air back in my tyres.
Then you fixed me with a loaded stare & stuck me with the bill.
Please bartender, come put out the fire.

I've been on a losing streak that's harder than a curse.
One night don't last forever, but you know it could be worse.
The trams are concertinaed down on National Avenue,
But tonight I just don't care 'cause I'm leaving with you.

I just want to take you home, won't you let me take you home?
This night's gonna make a man of me.

Now, I've been here a hundred times & I'll be here again.
So next time please pretend you knew me when
I was still a gentleman & you were still a queen,
And we weren't something stuck right in between.

I've been on a losing streak that's wider than the sea.
Sometimes I'm quite astounded this is happening to me.
This bar is full of memories that might best be forgot,
But tonight who gives a damn 'cause that's all we've got.

I just want to take you home, won't you let me take you home?
This night's gonna make a man of me.
I just want to take you home, won't you let me take you home?
This night's gonna make a man of me.
