My Side of the Bar [acoustic version] 04:06
lyrics
buy track
I watch you from my side of the bar, in the hazy amber light, Your eyes are never too far away . . . not as far as they are tonight. Something tells me that you’ve been wronged, or has someone been unkind? I’m always here darlin’, would it be so bad . . . just to share what’s on our mind? CHORUS: So I’ll sit and drink, and smile, and think: I don’t even know your name… But I’ll order another, watch your soft eyes flutter, And wish you would feel the same./ Now the pool balls crack, and the glasses clink, the old jukebox it grinds and skips, I’m right here darlin’ now don’t look sad, let me brush your fingertips. ... CHORUS: So I’ll sit and drink, and smile, and think: I don’t even know your name… as you pour me another, my voice breaks and I stutter, And how I wish you’d feel the same; Yeah I wish you’d feel the same.//

Somehow You've Put a Spell on Me (But I'm Not Yours) 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Everyone I know it seems is going mad, They just don’t know where this world is heading to, And you were such a beauty – yes you got me bad, Such a pity you’re too young to have a clue. Now I’m raking over the ashes of the little that we’ve done, We’ve hardly said a word yet something wicked this way comes, Each forsaken heart still will follow its own laws, Somehow you’ve put a spell on me but, I’m not yours… (Somehow you’ve put a spell on me but, I’m not the one for you…; I’m not yours.) - It’s so hard these days to find a sweetheart, When everybody wants somebody new, And the warmer that things get the more we drift apart, Nothing I say can change your point of view. So I’m raking over the ashes of the little that we’ve done, We’ve hardly said a word yet something wicked this way comes, Each forsaken heart still will follow its own laws, Somehow you’ve put a spell on me but, I’m not yours… (Somehow you’ve put a spell on me but, I’m not the one for you…; I’m not yours.)... /

about

Pat Bruce image

Pat Bruce Melbourne, Australia

"2-Hat" Pat Bruce is one of Footscray's lesser-known Alternative/Roots troubadours.
His heartfelt song-craft conveys a raw mix of Celtic-Folk, tinged with muddy country-roots, all drenched with a grungy punk spirit.

As an intermittent stalwart of the inner-Melbourne music scene over the past decade, some say he is finally maturing like a good wine.
