Back Room Lyrics - Bang Masters - Van Morrison

In the back room 

In the back room 

I waited for you 

Ya waited for me 

Rain came down, pitter-pat 

Say, what you think, it's raining outside, you said, "So what" 

You turned the record player on, had a smoke, stood up 

Walked across to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist 

A kitty stepped in the hall and she rapped the door 

Found the key in the letter box, she turned the door 

Walked into the room and said, "What's goin' on?" 

"I just got back from down the road, I gotta couple a bottles of wine 

Somethin' to turn you on, what-a you think of that?" 

I said, "Sit down cat, pull up a seat, you're soakin' wet 

Take off your coat and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"

In the back room 

In the back room 

I waited for you 

Ya waited for me 

I said, "What time is it Charlie, where did we go all day? 

You seem to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit lookin' at each other" 

He said, "I know, I been doin' the same thing for weeks" 

I look at the clock and all of a sudden I'm hypnotized 

It speaks to me, it goes, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock", ah-huh 

The kid he said, "I don't know what you guys do 

But I been workin' so hard lately that I can only just fall asleep in bed" 

So he played some more sounds and grooved a while 

Somebody brought out some cherry wine, cherry wine 

And we talked about what was goin' on in the music world 

And other things 

The rain outside came down like it came never before 

Down, came down, it came, rain, rain, rain 

And I said, "Baby what time is it, what time is it, tell me what time is it? 

"Ah, four-thirty" 

So I peeked 'round the corner, the blind 

An there ya go, there's another girl that's comin' home from school 

Lookin' so cool, just learned her As to Zs 

And said, "Hey man, don't look funny 

All the little girls comin' home from school and they're sittin' 

Talkin' and drinkin' and all them other funny things" 

And Charlie said to me, "Ya know what?", I said, "What?" 

He said, "Man, you gotta go out there and do somethin' for yourself 

Feel like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round here 

Like nothin' " 

I said, "You're right, I said, "You're so right" 

He said, "I know", I said, "Do ya?" 

Said, "You know, you're cuttin' records, cuttin' records right 

You come through that" 

An' just through all the time, you're gonna be out on the road 

I'm out on the backseat man, on the, on the highway 

And the colors are gonna run 

All of a sudden, don't ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta make it 

"I said, "Yeah I feel safe, I said, "Yeah, you know 

I can't stay here all the time as much as I'd like to 

But, I just learned about all day and all night" 

"And dig sounds, and go down to the river 

And once the artists go through the motions 

Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah gotta do my thing"
