A Toast To Our Good Fortune

from THE INVERLOCH TAPES by Jack Howard & John Berto

/

lyrics

We ran across the street
And we beat the tram
It’s raining
And it’s twilight

Street lights blind us
As we make our way
Down a disused arcade
We go laughing

Take the back door
To our favourite haunt
Where the waiters
They all know us

Tonight I order a frosty
And as the drinks arrive
You turn to me
And say

A toast to our good fortune
A toast to our happiness

Pictures of naked women
Line the walls
But we barely notice

The salmon or the steak
And don’t forget the bread
Oh please don’t forget the bread

The flames reflect off the whiskey bottles
And as the feeling rises
I could have seen this in a film or a TV show
And here’s the soundtrack

A toast to our good fortune
A toast to our happiness
