Stories of Me

Ever since you said goodbye I've had a reputation I'm not drinking on the sly I'm the star attraction Every morning I wake up Fill my cup and listen bitterly To stories of me They say a man is going 'round He looks a lot like me They say that man is going down It's looking pretty likely Every morning he wakes Fills his cup and listens shamefully To stories of me Everybody come on down Set 'em up and pass 'em round We're all here for a drowning I was down at Baker's Hall I heard somebody talking That's the last thing I recall Then my mind went walking I woke up with a heavy head On a hard bed trying to believe These stories of me Yeah I woke up in a stranger's bed Wondering about the things she said to me These stories of me --- Stories of Me - Paul Kelly and Paul Kelly & the Messengers
