E|-----------------------------|
A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado
A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm 
Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu 
And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far 
This is the story so far 
Shuffling your memories dealing your doodles in margins 
You scrawl out your poems across a beermat or two 
And when you declare the point of grave creation
They turn round and you to tell them the story so far 
This is the story so far

And you listen with a tear in you eye 
To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply 
Is Slàinte Mhath 

Verse (as before)
=====
Princes in exile raising the standard Drambuie
Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns 
Holding their own last orders commanding attention 
We sit here and listen to all of the story so far
This is the story so far 

Bridge (play each figure twice)
