A Nice Night In The 'Sham
Lyrics: Joe.
This song details a series of nights spent in Lewisham (the 'Sham) having good times at one or two of the pubs I frequent with my mates. It's pretty simple stuff.
Transcript:
Going down to the gig tonight
at my favourite pub.
It's a 20 minute walk away
so I won't have to get the bus.
Whoa OI OI OI
Whoa OI OI OI
Yes it's gunna be a nice night in the 'sham tonight.
A thick white layer of snow has fallen
on the paving stones.
And I thank fuck I'm at the pub
away from the bitter cold.
Whoa OI OI OI
Whoa OI OI OI
Yes it's gunna be a nice night in the 'sham tonight.
So the band are playing really well
when I see that girl again.
The one I saw a week before
at the party in forest hill.
Whoa OI OI OI
Whoa OI OI OI
Yes it's gunna be a nice night in the 'sham tonight.
I try my best to say hello
but she don't wanna know.
After a drink i finally see
she's in the arms of her boyfriend; 6 foot 3!
But that doesn't really matter to me
no I'm just to happy tonight.
It's still gunna be a nice night in the 'sham tonight.
Sitting at Catford wetherspoons
watching a fight unfold.
out there on the street I can see
bottles being thrown!
Whoa OI OI OI
Whoa OI OI OI
Yes it's gunna be a nice night in the 'sham tonight.
OI OI OI
Yes it's gunna be a nice night in the 'sham tonight.
OI OI OI
Yes it's gunna be a nice night in the 'sham tonight.
OI OI OI
Yes it's gunna be a nice night in the 'sham tonight.
