Stories of Me - Paul Kelly

Ever since you said goodbye

I’ve had a reputation

I’m not drinking on the sly

I’m the star attraction

Every morning I wake up

Fill my cup and listen bitterly

To stories of me

They say a man is going 'round

He looks a lot like me

They say that man is going down

It’s looking pretty likely

Every morning he wakes

Fills his cup and listens shamefully

To stories of me

Everybody come on down

Set 'em up and pass 'em round

We’re all here for a drowning

I was down at Baker’s Hall

I heard somebody talking

That’s the last thing I recall

Then my mind went walking

I woke up with a heavy head

On a hard bed trying to believe

These stories of me

Yeah I woke up in a stranger’s bed

Wondering about the things she said to me

These stories of me
