  • Verse 1
    The first 
    time 
    we flew 
    it 

    It 
    was ? and cramped 

    Verse 2
    The vodka 
    running 
    out 
    half- 

    way 
    across 
    the Atlantic 

    Even 
    the steward 
    screamed 

    and 
    joined 
    in 
    it 

    Verse 3
    We did
    n't 
    think 
    we were 
    going 

    to make 
    it 

    Now we're 
    stretched 
    out 
    in 
    wide, 

    furry 
    seats 

    Flick
    ing 
    through 
    menus 

    Verse 4
    A walk 
    to the 
    bar 
    and 
    there's as 
    much 
    screw- 
    top 

    champagne 
    as we 
    can 
    drink 

    We're 
    so 
    easy 

    Verse 5

    Taking 
    turns 
    having 
    our photos 
    taken 

    Sitting 
    in 
    front 
    of smoked 
    windows 

    Verse 6
    Decanters 
    of cheap 
    whiskey 
    in 
    our 
    hands 

    Drive 
    into 
    Man
    hattan 
    on a 
    date 
    with 

    starlet who's 
    just 
    talent 

    That's 
    what 
    people 
    pay 

    the money 
    to see 

    Who 
    are we 
    to 
    argue? 

    Verse 7
    Five 
    hours 
    now 

    it's 
    been 
    going 
    on 

    And 
    still 
    we're watching 
    all of it 

    Verse 8
    Can 
    you 
    really 
    believe 
    all 
    this? 

    Can 
    he really 
    lie 
    in 
    bed 
    at night 
    and 
    marvel 

    at 
    his own 
    genius? 

    Verse 9
    When 
    do 
    you lose 
    the 
    ability 

    to 
    step 
    back 

    And get 
    a sense 
    of 
    your own 

    ridiculousness? 

    They're 
    only 
    song

    Midnight, 
    and it's 
    all 
    over

    Now 
    Verse 10
    it 
    can 
    really 
    make 
    us 
    laugh 

    We're 
    standing 
    on 
    our heads 
    drinking 

    sours 
    of crystal 
    schnapps 

    Now 
    we're 
    unable 
    to 
    step 
    back 

    or 
    step forward 

    Verse 11
    Swallowing 
    swallow 

    Tasting 
    it 
    again, 

    it's 
    not 
    so 
    unpleasant 

    Verse 12
    Perhaps 
    it's 
    an acquired 
    taste 

    The first 
    time, 
    it makes 
    you 
    sick 

    Then, 
    bit by 
    bit, 

    it 
    becomes 
    delicious 

    Verse 13
    Showbiz people 

    Always 
    there 
    to 
    be interested 

    in 
    what 
    you 
    say 

    Verse 14
    We are 
    artists; we are 

    sensitive 
    and important 

    We nod 
    our head
    earnestly 

    Already 
    Verse 15
    half- 
    way down 

    the 
    champagne 

    On 
    our way 
    to 
    leaving 
    the place 
    dry 

    $2,000 bar 
    bill 

    Verse 16
    Showbiz picks 
    up the tab 

    And 
    we're on 
    our 
    way 
    laughing 

    Laugh
    ing 
    at what? 

    Los 
    Angeles, 
    eight 
    days 
    in 

    And our 
    sense 
    of 

    irony's running 
    pretty 
    thin 

    Verse 17
    All 
    the friends 
    we've 
    made 

    Piano 
    interlude not 
    transcribed 
    this 
    time, 

    sorry, just 
    improvise 

    It's 
    2 am, it's 
    closing 

    time 
    at the 
    dresden 

    Marty 
    and Layton 
    play 
    Verse 18
    one 
    last 

    sleepy 
    strangers 
    in 
    the night 

    And the 
    last 
    of 
    Verse 19
    the martinis 
    dribble 

    down 
    our 
    chins 

    Verse 20

    We're sitting, 

    chasing 
    the 
    conservation 
    around 
    the table 

    Verse 21
    Jesus, 
    how 
    long 
    have I been 
    in 
    this state? 

    Verse 22
    The 
    limousine's still 
    waiting 
    outside 

    Anything 
    you 
    want 
    to do? 

    Anywhere 
    Verse 23
    you want 
    to 
    go? 

    We're on 
    our way 
    to 
    the airport 
    Verse 24

    and 
    plane 
    to 
    Vegas 

    So 
    many 
    nights 
    lying 
    in 
    bed 
    shaking 

    Dreaming 
    of pushing 
    my 
    daughter 

    around 
    the supermarket 

    The joy 
    of seeing 
    all those 
    colors 

    and shapes 
    reflect 
    in her wide 
    eyes 

    My 
    head 
    leaning 
    on 
    the 

    window 

    And we're driving 
    through 

    the 
    empty 
    l.a. streets 

    And 
    everything 
    seems silent 
    and 
    beautiful 

    Verse 25
    guy's 
    face 
    hits 
    the 
    floor 

    Police 
    re
    volvers 
    glistening 

    in 
    the streetlight 

    Onto 
    Melrose 
    and lurching 
    through 
    a sea 
    of 

    Halloween 
    transvest
    ites 

    The flight's 
    canceled, 

    but 
    it doesn't 
    matter 

    We turn 
    this corner 
    to 
    a way 

    that takes 
    us wherever 

    Up 
    to sunset 

    We 
    creep 
    up 
    the drive 
    to 

    the shattuck 

    The suite 
    be
    lushi died 
    in 

    Verse 26
    Or 
    the one 
    Morrison 
    hung 
    out the 
    window 

    Oh, 
    I'll 
    go 
    for jim's 

    I would 
    fancy 
    a hotel 
    window- 
    hanging, 

    myself, 
    to
    night, 
    man 

    Verse 27
    Straight 
    over 
    to 
    the mini- 
    bar 

    Open 
    the cham
    pagne 
    - - one 
    sip 

    and it's 
    left 
    to wake 
    up 
    to 

    Verse 28
    Anyone 
    hungry? 

    A team 
    of uniformed 
    waiters 
    lay out 
    an 

    elaborate 
    table 
    for 
    all 
    us to 
    ignore 

    Oh, 
    the 
    irony 

    Verse 29
    How 
    we're used 
    to living 

    Back 
    in 
    london 
    on 
    a cold 
    Friday 
    night 

    Do 
    you want 
    another 
    drink? 

    Verse 30
    Well, 
    I could 
    try 

    Perhaps 
    we 
    could make 
    it to 

    the atlantic 

    600 yeard
    s, twenty 
    minutes 
    later 

    We're 
    pushing 
    through 
    the waiting 
    crowd, 

    all 
    fish 
    eyes 

    Verse 31
    An exclusive 
    door 
    poli
    cy 

    Verse 32
    Exclusively 
    for 
    arseholes 

    And 
    tonight? 
    well, 
    nod 
    of our 
    heads, 

    and we're 
    inside 

    Falling 
    down 
    the 
    red, 
    velvety 
    stairs 

    Limbs 
    flaying, 
    hands 
    searching 
    for 

    something 
    to 
    steady 

    Pick ourselves 
    up, 
    nothing 
    broken 

    Just 
    aches 
    in 
    the morning 

    Verse 33
    No one 
    seems 
    to 
    notice 

    I find 
    a table, 

    champagne 
    arrives 

    Verse 34
    I've 
    been 
    so 
    drunk, 
    I sit 
    and look 
    at 
    you 

    We 
    try 
    and 
    talk 
    for the first 

    time 
    in a 
    long 
    time 

    Verse 35
    Drunken 
    confession 

    You shiver, 
    it 
    made 
    you feel 
    sick 

    We 
    use 
    the rent 
    money 
    to 
    pay 
    the bill 

    Bumping 
    shoulders, 

    we 
    stumble 
    out into 
    Soho 

    Slip
    ping 
    over 
    the sleeping 
    bags 

    Shouting 
    for taxis

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
