about

Hasn't everyone fallen in love with a barmaid - or barman - at some time or other?
In James' case, she was called Rachel.

lyrics

The Barmaid’s Canon

I don’t know what I should say anymore
I’ve not had a crush like this before
I wish I could sink into the floor
When I think of what I said before

My friends are always with me
They offer me support
They say just keep it snappy
They say just keep it short
But then they can’t help laughing
They say I’ve lost my touch
And then I get so nervous
I always drink too much

But I know enough to know
You don’t just want a rough ride
So I want to know
If you’re as lovely on the inside


I guess you’ve heard all of these lines before
Eyes like yours get noticed I’m sure
Hope you’re not celibate anymore
And that’s not your boyfriend at the door

I’m not much of a fighter
But I’ve got lots of fight
Whatever I do for you
I’ll try and do I right

But I know enough to know
You don’t just want a rough ride
So I want to know
If you’re as lovely on the inside

So don’t run away
You’ve nothing to fear
From hearing what I’ve got to say

Cause everyone knows
That you look lovely on the outside
And everyone thinks
That I am just another rough guy
But I know enough to know
I won’t just want to slip-slide
So I want to know if you’re as lovely on the inside
