Just The One
Just The One
Do you fancy a drink
Just the one
To clear your head
We won't be long
It's a beautiful day
To waste away
There's plenty of time
For another one
You know you shouldn't do it
But can't see no reason why
So blow your mind
Make mine a short
I'm getting there
But where there is
I couldn't care
There must be something
I haven't tried
Perhaps that bottle
before my eyes
Through the haze
The sun goes down
It's getting late
Let's hit the town
Call some friends
To paint it red
Feed the animal
In your head
They throw you out
You hit the night
Go to a club
You feel alright
You get a pill
Take just half
Then take the rest of it
For a laugh
The rest is blank
And that's the worst
An empty head
For an empty purse
You had a laugh
Or so you think
But in the morning
You just stink
So you fancy a drink
It's just the one
To clear your head
We won't be long
A Promise
This place looks so familiar
they always are
came here again to meet yer
my guiding star
whats that I hear you talking
whats that you say
every cloud has a silver lining
come what may.
And I love it when you whisper to me...
Its always a promise
in the dreams that you keep
there always a promise
In this last drink
this last drink
We´ve met in so many places
we´ve always danced
and then the morning after left
in a trance you know
if we keep on meeting
you´ll take my soul
lets call it an evning i must go
But I love it when you whisper to me...
This time I really mean it
it´s over now last night
we both went too far
you know how
today I´m left staring
a thousand yards
today I know you promised
the house of cards
But I love it when you whisper to me...
Your 'Ouse
Come on then boys lets have us a drink
Is there one there for me? is the cry
I´m sorry about me I´m sorry about me mates
Do you think we will last out the night
We've had a slack hand Danny boys down a grand
We´re having it down his ouse tonight
Its getting harder to see maybe another dream
Spiders will do me right
And we´re having it round your ouse
There I´ve said it its out
Well we know that you´ll be about
Cos we´re aving it round your ouse
All I remember was we were a sight to be seen
I´ll remember for the rest of my life
We had everyone there who had the bus fare
But when they were gone we carried on
And raised out the shout of masai
And we´re having it round your ouse...
As well as our crew we had justice too
The drivers were flying by night
Compulsion arrived to drink ripple wine
And soon we were messy as shite
And midnight express was looking its best
With none what was left came home for a rest
To have it round our ouse as well
And we´re having it round your ouse...
Drinking For England
Don´t fall out of temptation
drinking for the nation
is getting you down cos it takes a lot of work
filling up your belly
and eating dirt
it takes a lot of cash and lot of lies
just to get this trashed.
But its easier than paying
your tax straight to the man
its easier than paying
your tax straight to the man...
Dont fall out of temptation
drinking for the nation
is dragging you down
your country needs you
dont deny it
drinking all you can
just dont get high
and if you dont feel it start to hurt
just buy another say "lets get worse"
But its easier than paying...
Dont fall out of temptation
drinking for the nation
is getting you down
cos everything you have to spend
goes to defend the ones you love
no its not money down the drain
yore "playing the game" its hand in glove
But its easier than paying...
Well dont ever think that drinking gets you down...
