REGINA'S BAR

There's a ghost
Calling out my name
A little song
Equal shares of love and shame
I could keep away from drinking
Though it wouldn't get me very far
'Cause it wouldn't stop me thinking...

Just stay away from Regina's Bar
I'll stay away from Regina's Bar

Don't go for pleasure
If you can't stand the pain
Don't waste your savings
If you can't jump a train
Don't fall asleep in a stranger's bed
Don't get drunk on whisky from a stolen jar
Don't get a woman stuck inside your head

Just stay away from Regina's Bar
Stay away from Regina's Bar

"Wow; I'm hearing some kind of story playing out in your songs so far. Hard not to focus on the excellent performance, but it's very well written. Superbly ambiguous lyric; musically, I can't be sure if it's wistful and sad or just a little scary. Leaves a lot to the imagination, with just enough hints to point the way."
(Joel "Spinhead" Canfield, singer-songwriter)

"Tremendous. Brilliant. Sublime."
(Phil Norman, singer-songwriter)
