Take your check, go home, and buy your bread
Or maybe down a couple of drinks instead
Don't speak you mind now
And it's time, You want to sleep,
To ease your mind, where nothing runs so deep
and suicide is all you've left to meet
and still you say to me "Bartender, fix me one more drink."
Drink alone with me 'till 5am
She's waiting up to ask you questions
you've no answer but the rise in rent
Don't speak your mind now
You'll wake her child
And it's time You want to sleep
To ease your mind, where nothing runs so deep
and suicide is all you've left to meet
and still you say to me "Bartender, fix me one more drink."
Don't speak your mind now
Cause no one cares
No one's there
And it's time, You want to sleep,
To ease your mind, where nothing runs so deep
and suicide is all you've left to meet
still you say to me "Bartender, fix me one more drink."
Had enough of everything, everything I've had
Big surprise, the years role by , fix me one more drink
Need it all, need some more, needing everything
still you say to me "Bartender, fix me one more drink
(alternate ending)
Had enough of everything, everything i know
Big surprise the years go by and leave you on the floor
needed more, need you more, wanted everything
still you say to me "Bartender fix me one more drink
Toad the Wet Sprocket is an American alternative rock band formed in Santa Barbara, California, in 1986. The band at the time consisted of vocalist/guitarist Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols, bassist Dean Dinning, and drummer Randy Guss, who stopped touring in 2017 and left the band in 2020. Guss was replaced by drummer Josh Daubin, who had been supporting them as their drummer on recent tours. They had chart success in the 1990s with singles that included "Walk on the Ocean", "All I Want", "Something's Always Wrong", "Fall Down", and "Good Intentions".
The band broke up in 1998 to pursue other projects; however, they began touring the United States again in 2006 for short-run tours each summer in small venues. In December 2010, the band announced their official reunion as a full-time working band and started writing songs for their first studio album of new material since their 1997 Columbia Records release, Coil. Their most recent full-length album, Starting Now, was released on August 27, 2021.
