Shot in the Arm Lyrics by The Guild League

Inner North

2004

I awoke all hung withdrawn and sordid
If eyes are windows on the soul
Then mine were locked and boarded
My body; numb, in pain from the neck up
Which seemed more suited
To a prisoner or a shallow dive
That's poorly executed
Where had all my money gone?
A damp receipt alluded
To a tab and taxi flag-fare
That my bank-card had saluted
And I couldn't tell you how
I made it home before the sun
Or pick the barman's face from a police line-up of one
I'm in the dark with a shot in the arm
Falling glass and a rising alarm
I'm in the dark with a shot in the arm
I've tried to trace my tracks
From their beginning to conclusion
But there's not a lot that
Hasn't just been lost in the confusion
Of that guilt-induced amnesia
All my memories succumb
Bar your beauty, and your kindness, and the stupid things I've done
In the dark with a shot in the arm
Falling glass and a rising alarm
I'm in the dark with a shot in the arm
Shook off that cold somehow
I can wear short sleeves now
It's ice behind my brow
The inner-north sea is staying calm
It's my past that'll do you harm
