Bar For The Broken​-​Hearted

from '​.​.​.​& All His Boyish Charms' (2009) by Marq DeSouza

lyrics

I'm going to open up a bar for the broken hearted
Sling all the drinks for the people just like me
A place where the dear folks can mourn their departed
Who've given up hope of living ever happily?

We'll get a bouncer to keep out all the happy couples
Don't need reminders of lives that might've been
You order a single; I'll pour you a double
You're the king; tonight the bottle is your queen

I was sober, but that's over
Yes I was sober, but that's over
It was fun while it lasted, but now I'm off getting blasted

So I'm going to open up a bar for the broken hearted
Sooner or later I know she'll come around
To see the place that her wicked ways have started
It'll be the hottest spot, the busiest place in town

Now it's always been a dream of mine to have a place to call my own
But in this room so full of like-minded souls, I can't imagine feeling any more alone
We all pace this dance floor solo, keep our affections guarded
Inside we cry a lullaby, a song for the broken hearted

about

Marq DeSouza Vancouver, British Columbia

-A very personal rock album. He also writes from a very moral perspective, which gives his record a strong POV. These songs are not filled with empty thoughts but actually try to say something. (Vancouver Province)

-Inspiration drips from every distorted and bent guitar note, down-but-not-out vocal phrasing, and sneered lyric. (Georgia Straight)
