After Hours
The Bluetones
Letra

how in the world will i make it to work
in the morning?
i've been drinking since we clocked out
and now it's 4am
But they're such a generous couple
alfredo and pauline
When they offer a late night session,
you don't want to offend.

The shutters come down
and thats what they're for
we dont want to invite in the law
It's not often the case that we're forced
to sacrifice the jukebox.
But the plug always has to be pulled
on the quiz machine
So you imbibe all you can
cos you're partaking in something forbiden
And time after time you'll wake up
face down in the latrine.

We speak in hushed tones
And dim down the lights
we're staying after hours tonight

Where am I now?
Where am I now?
Where am I now?

I dont remember a thing,
I dont remember, remember a thing

Lord only knows what kind of poison i'm drinking
I can't read the label
So i'll just dance off my cares like Fred Alistaire
up here on the table

The shutters come down
and thats what they're for
we dont want to invite in the law
we speak in hushed tones
and dim down the lights
we're staying after hours tonight!!
