G5 (Hammer the root note in all instances of this chord)

Verse 1

It's boxing night,

And I'll celebrate in style

In boxer shorts and spirits, floor littered

With ghosts of bottles past

There's a naked hush

Clawed only in breath and of pulse

Of our heart that is kicking

As though it is desperate to be born

Interlude

Verse 2

And I'm in hostage blind

Deaf to the dim outside

Good Glasgow could burn to it's timber* tonight

And I'd barely blink and I...

Well the clock just stopped

You can cut that on my fucking headstone*

Won't something move so I stop

Staring a hole into the phone

Chorus

You can get me at home

With a drink to ill health

Just me and these walls

And a beaten up chair

On boxing day

Interlude

Verse 3

This is boxing night

And someone lost an eye

Well I swear I've lost the last drop

Of whatever kept me awake alive

And I fell in the forth

From a heavy right hook

To our blushed and swollen face

And in a single blow it's murdered

And then it takes years to waste away

And I can't call you all mine anymore

And I can't call you full stop

But you know you can call me up anytime

Call me whatever the fuck you want

Chorus

You can get me at home

With a drink to ill health

Just me and these walls

And a beaten up chair

You can get me at home

With a drink to ill health

Just me and these walls

And my beaten up chair

On boxing day
