Cover art for Paint Box lyrics by Pink Floyd

Correct transcription:

Must admit I had too much to drink Sitting in a club with so many fools Playing to rubes Trying to impress but feeling rather empty I had another drink

What a way to spend that evening They all turn up with their friends Playing the game There in the scene, oh I should have been Far away

Getting up a fuss about remembering this scream before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget

The telephone rings and someone speaks She would very much like to go out to a show So what can I do, I can't think what to say She sees through any way

Out of the front door I go Traffic's moving rather slow Arriving late There she waits looking very angry As cross as she can be

Getting up a fuss about remembering this scream before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget
