Spoons Lyrics

It's 10am on Bethcar Street

It's 2022 and the towns are in decline

Boarded up shops are a sign of the times

The streets are deserted except for a line

Of diehard daytime drinkers

There's a bloke at the bar with a dog on a string

Table 18 has started to sing

Brexit propaganda adorns everything

The patriotic blinkers

A pillar of society

Not the last word in sobriety

A place for all likeminded folk

A character or two

More gammon here than Dewhursts

More animals than the zoo

At four o' clock it all kicks off cos' someone's jumped the queue

It's happy hour every hour at spoons

At spoons

At spoons

At spoons

Take an old cinema and do it up good

A lick of builders beige and 20 tons of wood

Put some pretty pictures up and maybe then you should

Name it after someone local

Ten teeth between them on table 29

Seat is saved for Dave cos' he drinks here all the time

Tracy's on her 7th pint now she does a line

And now she gets very vocal

A pillar of society

Not the last word in sobriety

Sobriety

A place for all likeminded folk

A character or two

More gammon here than Dewhursts

More animals than the zoo

At four o' clock it all kicks off cos' someone's jumped the queue

It's happy hour every hour at spoons

At spoons

At spoons

At spoons

And the toilets are surprisingly posh
