Drinking To get Drunk

from Alcohol Tobacco Raygun? by Muleskinner Jones

lyrics

I'm throwing up in a bathroom off the A363
And there's a man who wants to kill me outside the door
And the woman waiting tables thinks she's going home with me
But I can barely drag my fat arse off the floor
And the band is playing a love song that I hate
But they're all so bloody awful it sounds great

And I can't believe the depths to which
This life of mine has sunk
But I'm not drinking to forget you
I'm just drinking to get drunk

Well it's five years since we parted
And seven since we met
And I guess it seems my life is quite a mess
But I ain't broken-hearted
Though my memory needs refreshed
Did you leave 'cuz of the drinking
Or am I drinking 'cuz you left?

But I'm okay, I got my friends around me
Jim Beam and Johnnie Walker
Well hell, they're close as family

And I can't believe the depths to which
This life of mine has sunk
But I'm not drinking to forget you
I'm just drinking to get drunk

So let's drink to your health
I'll never find someone else
While I'm this damn soused
See the only birds with whom I converse
Are a Wild Turkey and The Famous Grouse

So I'm sleeping it off in a bathroom off the A363
And there's a pissed-up Brummie bastard outside the door
And the woman waiting tables packed off home at half-past-three
And says she never weants to see me anymore

And the band has started playing our favourite song
At least that's what I think it is
But I'm so far gone that I'm probably wrong

And I can't believe the depths to which
This life of mine has sunk
But I'm not drinking to forget you
I'm just drinking to get drunk

And our son thinks I'm a loser
And out friends think I'm a chump
But I'm not drinking to forget you
I'm just drinking to get drunk
