Dinner is Cold by David Garnerdinner is cold on a Friday night
I've got the phone on my lap
and my eye on the door
and, oh, don't you know it
I've been here before
stood up and fed up
at a quarter to ten
I've been here before
and I'm here once again 11/09/2007 Posted on 11/09/2007 Copyright © 2024 David Garner
