This Is Going Straight to the Pool Room

[Verse]
Dust on the shelf
A sun-faded prize
The glint of the past in your weathered eyes
It's not the gold
It's the story it tells
Like the fish that got bigger each time it fell

[Chorus]
This is going straight to the pool room
Where the echoes of laughter still bloom
Set it down by the darts and the cues
This is a treasure
We’ll never lose

[Verse 2]
A chipped cup from a market stall
The cricket bat leaning against the wall
A tinny crackin’
The firelight glow
It’s the little things that steal the show

[Prechorus]
No need for diamonds
No need for pearls
Just a corner for the heart of the world

[Chorus]
This is going straight to the pool room
Where the echoes of laughter still bloom
Set it down by the darts and the cues
This is a treasure
We’ll never lose

[Bridge]
Every scuff and scratch
They’ve got their say
Like the stories you spin at the end of the day
A chair with a wobble
A clock that won’t chime
But it’s perfect
It’s ours
It’s frozen in time
