From the recording Moments
Behind Closed Doors: A lot goes on behind closed doors, that is never disclosed to the outside world. Domestic abuse is alarmingly close to us all but mostly remains hidden.
Lyrics
He was a gambler all his life
Wasn’t just money, he gambled with life
When he drank whisky
The demons rose
Livin’ life like this, so dark
And nobody knows, what goes on behind closed doors
He drank whisky to soothe his soul, he drank whisky because it was cold
He drank whisky to ease his mind, He drank whisky just to pass the time
A pillar of society
They didn’t see it
He was charm itself
When he drank his whisky
The demon rose
Like Jekyll & Hyde in the movie
This wasn’t a show
No-one knows what goes on behind closed doors
He drank whisky to soothe his soul, he drank whisky because it was cold
He drank whisky to ease his mind, He drank whisky just to pass the time
They were battered they were bruised
When they went to school
Teachers looked away
When he drank his whisky
The demon rose
He was a giant
Mama was frightened, it’s how it goes
No-one knows what goes on behind closed doors
