Ha ha super rough, no editing at all just hit record n' go. Flavoured with a genuine hangover, some minor stuff-ups and a hint of lawnmower in the background. The Scarab Bar is in Belgrave, Victoria but it could be any bar anywhere right?

lyrics

An Interesting Life
By Seamus Anthony Ennis

It's 1:30am,
I'm at the Scarab Bar again,
Drinking and conspiring with my new friends.

Legends,
One and all,
None of whom I will recall,
Tomorrow,
When I'm writhing around in pain.

But it's the cost,
It's the price,
Of an interesting life.
You take off into the air,
Just like a plane.

You climb higher,
And higher,
Until your wings catch on fire,
And you plummet,
back to the planet,
Yet again.

Chorus

Singin'
"Oh Mary, My love,
My beautiful friend".

Singin'
"Oh Mary - the fun never ends".

Singin'
"Oh Mary - from up above,
From heaven descend".

Singin
"Oh Mary - forgive me,
Again".

There's a man,
Standing there.
He's got very expensive hair,
But only cheap and nasty things to say.

And some bloke that I just met,
Man his name I already forget,
He bored me so bad I just balked and walked away.

Chorus

There's a girl,
Standing near,
Rubbing sweet nothin's into my ear,
And I'm smiling and pretending like I really care.

While in fact,
I've got a plan.
I've got my greedy eye on The Man,
'Cos he's got some of what I want,
Over there.

Chorus

It's 1:30am,
I'm in the Scarab Bar again.
Watchin' all my money wash down the drain.

And soon that sun it will rise,
And splash acid into my eyes,
And then,
I will truly suffer the pain...
