Alcohol Songtext
von Suggs

Oh greedy alcohol you take me
The rye beer and these grubby streets shake me
The joy you seem to take turning me into a fake
Like a plastic cherry on a cardboard cake
So roll out the barrel tonight I′ve had my fill
I've emptied both my pockets in the barmaid′s till
Mouth hanging sideways open out into the street
Cigarettes matches uncoordinated feet

It's door fulls of winos in the leering London light
And for the crowds of sightseers I make quite a sight
Reeling sideways downwards take a picture of me
Of all the tourist sights I'm a sight to see

It′s clear, it′s clear as mud
It's in, it′s in my blood
I come from a long line
Whose only fear is closing time


Alcohol
No no no no more alcohol
Oh oh
No no no no more alcohol
Yeah
No more alcohol

Oh and for the fifth time tonight
You are sliding down
But you won't stop there

You start falling through the ground

One, two, three
Will he make it four?
Oh but he′s up hey hey
He's Cassius Clay
Throwing rights and lefts
They′re coming every way
Mistaking lampposts for boys and girls
Single-handedly taking on the world

It's clear, it's clear as mud
It′s in, it′s in my blood
I come from a long line
Whose only fear is closing time


It's clear, it′s clear as mud
It's in, it′s in my blood
I come from a long line
Whose only fear is closing time

Oh greedy alcohol you've taken the lot
We were having such a good time
You don′t know when to stop

No no no more alcohol
No no no no more alcohol
Oh oh
No no no no more alcohol

He'll have a pint of pink gin
He'll drink anything
So long as all his troubles disappear
Same again
Alcohol
Alcohol
Alcohol
Alcohol

Would you care to dance?
Hello are you here for the beer?
