End Of The World

verse 1 Sitting in an old bar in a town that no one's heard of Everybody's outside with glasses on staring at the sky Waiting for the message to arrive There's panic all around us shouting "Lord give me a sign" I'll pour a new whiskey and you sit there drinking your wine Just like everything's fine But this is it - the end of the world - the countdown's begun The meteor just flew in front of the sun And it's been confirmed so turn off the news I am so lucky to be here with you No one I'd have preferred and we're not concerned It's just you and me at the end of the world verse 2 The bar is almost empty people shot off in their cars But the old man's in the corner and he's there still playing guitar But he's playing Auld Lang Syne We put a fifty in the juke box and we play our favourite songs And we just start jumping and dancing and singing along We feel like nothing's wrong But this is it - the end of the world - the countdown's begun The meteor just flew in front of the sun And it's been confirmed So turn off the news I am so lucky to be here with you No one I'd have preferred and we're not concerned It's just you and me at the end of the world Interlude Thirty more seconds that's when they say we'll be colliding I'm sure there's irony somewhere but we can not find it Turn up the music I've loved you so truly don't panic now we're alright Here it comes darling I love you hold tight close your ey---- Well that was it - the end of the world - the countdown was done The meteor crashed down on Earth with a thud And it was confirmed so we turned off the news I was so lucky to be there with you No one I'd have preferred - and we weren't concerned It was just you and me at the end of the world
