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
You see no reason why
as you blow your mind
yeah yeah ah ha
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
You know you
shouldn't do it
You see no reason why
as you blow your mind
yeah yeah ah ha
And 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
You know you
shouldn't do it
You see no reason why
as you blow your mind
yeah yeah ah ha
They throw you out
You hit the night
You go to a club
You feel alright
You get a pill
You take just half
Then take the rest
of it for a laugh
You know you
shouldn't do it
You see no reason why
as you blow your mind
yeah yeah ah ha
Across the floor
you think you see
the one in your dreams
Your fantasy
But that last drink
has made you blind
You need the bar
but it's hard to find
You know you
shouldn't do it
You see no reason why
as you blow your mind
yeah yeah ah ha
The brand new game
you want to try
Called lining them up
and it's the first to die
You think you've won
but it's time to leave
All back to yours
for a cup of tea
You know you
shouldn't do it
You see no reason why
as you blow your mind
yeah yeah ah ha
You find your keys
and you all fall in
You spend an hour
in search of skins
When all seems
lost and looking grim
You find the bottle
of Christmas gin
You know you
shouldn't do it
You see no reason why
as you blow your mind
yeah yeah ah ha
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
You know you
shouldn't do it
You see no reason why
as you blow your mind
yeah yeah ah ha
So you fancy a drink?
It's just the one
To clear your head
we won't be long
