about

This is a song about drinking drawn from experiences witnessed & experiences lived. Lyrically the subject matter is pretty heavy so I wanted to contrast that with an upbeat fun song.

lyrics

Drinking is a love song, gonna dip my toes in.
Fancy another? Have a sip, here goes it.
I'm just having fun not living sin.

Not sure what happened, guess I must've forget it.
Spent my memories in pubs with alcoholic wallets.
Hairless dogs, always getting back on it.

I'm gonna get out of my head.
Here's to the living, here's to the dead.
And when I wake up in my bed I'm gonna forget everything that I've said.

Lately everyone has been on my case.
And I'm sick of the the things that they say just to try to make me change.
But truthfully I'm sick of my drunk ways.

'Tis true that I have no self esteem.
The idea itself is but a dream.
You're the only medicine I need.

I know something that'll fix this feeling.
Stop feeling down staring at the ceiling.
Stare straight through a half full glass.
Half empty until the bell rings last.

Relax, relax & relapse.
Relax, relax & collapse.

I need to get myself some help.
I've been feeling pretty unwell.
I can't do this by myself.
Gonna make me a heaven out of this hell.

And on the day I finally get this train back on track.
Well, my friends you all know that I'll drink to that.
Well, my friends you know I'll drink to that.
