Taxi Rank Blues
Stumbling Through Nights: Tales of Taxi Rank Blues
Lyrics
Friday morning and I'm contacting my friends
Initiating contact with friends on a Friday morning
Get no reply's did my message even send
No responses received, questioning if the message was sent
Don't know why I bother
Expressing frustration with bothering to reach out
To them and I just a chore
Perceiving the communication as a burden to friends
Or am I just impatient as I'm staring at the door
Considering impatience while waiting for a response
My panic eases as I start to make our plans
Feeling relief and planning as panic subsides
Could get an Uber but we have all been fucking banned
Uber unavailable due to previous issues
We try to book it as we remember last time
Recalling difficulties in booking due to past incidents
Why couldn't George have shut his mouth and paid the fine
Referencing a person (George) causing trouble and not paying fines
We felt like we could never lose
Initial sense of invincibility
Until we stumbled on taxi rank blues
Encountering problems at the taxi rank leading to blues
Waking up battered and bruised
Waking up physically harmed after the incident
We took a kicking of the taxi rank blues
Reflecting on the negative outcome of the taxi rank situation
Necking cans as we head off into town
Drinking while heading to town, expecting trouble
No doubt we'll fine any trouble to be found
Anticipating finding trouble during the night out
Can't help but laugh at the fuck boys and the sluts
Observing and laughing at certain individuals
Wasn't my intention but I'm already half cut
Accidentally getting intoxicated
Now I'm on the dance floor
Being on the dance floor with a drink
Clinging to my beer
Clutching beer while looking for potential partners
We look around for senoritas
Searching for attractive people
That are here
Acknowledging the presence of potential partners
I've got no chance
Feeling insecure about chances with others
I'm just so insecure
Expressing personal insecurities
Tried to move my feet
Attempting to dance but making a mess
But I spilled drinks all on the floor
Spilling drinks on the dance floor
We felt like we could never lose
Recalling the previous sense of invincibility
Until we stumbled on taxi rank blues
Encountering blues at the taxi rank again
Getting offered grams for your shoes
Dealing with offers of drugs to cope with the blues
I'm on a buzz from the taxi rank blues
Feeling a buzz from the taxi rank blues
On the drive hike we stopped for booze
Stopping for alcohol to alleviate the blues
To try and cure me of the taxi rank blues
Trying to recover from the negative taxi rank experience
Waking up battered and bruised
Waking up battered again after attempting to cure the blues
We took a kicking of the taxi rank blues
Experiencing the negative consequences of the taxi rank blues
