Lyrics The English Room - Pet Lions

The English Room

The English Room is much like an old house*
Couldn’t forget your scent if I tried to
A simple tavern nestled in a slow town
I’m sure I’ve thought of you more than you’ve thought of me
The Monday clientele is quite substantial
I’d like to have you if I could somehow
Upstairs is quiet, there’s less than a handful
But what is love if I can’t be with you now
Must you leave oh so soon
Bartender broke his neck but he walks now
Your gentle snoring feels reassuring
The type of bar with a shower in the bathroom
Some things I’d tell you but I’ll wait till you leave
They’re playing darts, but we don’t pay attention
Seems like we’re moving in different directions
It’s getting late and I wish we had more time
But what is love if I can’t be with you now
