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 |
