Just the One
Your 'Ouse
Drinking For England
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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Across the floor You think you see The one of your dreams Your fantasy But that last drink Has made you blind You need the bar But it's hard to find [Chorus] It's a brand new game You want to try, You line them up And it's the first to die You think you've won but it's time to leave And it's back to yours for a cup of tea [Chorus] You find your keys And you all fall in You spend an hour And search your skins When all seems lost And it's looking grim You find the bottle Of christmas gin [Chorus] 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
Come on then boys, Lets have us a drink, Is there one there for me is the cry, And I'm sorry about me, And I'm sorry about me mates, D'you think that we'll last out the night? We've had a slack hand, Danny Boy's down the ground, They're havin' it round his 'ouse tonight, Getting harder to see, May need another G, Spiders will do me alright. [chorus] And we're having it round your house, There, Its said, it's out. And we know that you'll be about, Cos we're having it round your house. ?????? We're a sight to be seen, I'll remeber for the rest of my life We had everyone there, Who had the bus fare, ?????? And the only grief, Came from the police, Who didn't want out fire alight, But when they were gone, Well we carried on, Raise the shout of an aye [chorus] As well as our crew, We had just these two, Drivers who were flyin' by night, Compulsion arrived, To drink with the wine, And soon we were messy as shite. The midnight express, Was looking its best, With none of us looking too well, And we few who was left, Came home for a rest, To have it round our house as well. [chorus]
Don't fall under temptation, If 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 a lot of life To get this trash. [chorus] But it's easier than paying, You tie it straight to the mouth, But it's easier than paying, You tie it straight to the mouth, Don't fall under temptation, If drinking for the nation is draggin you down. Your country needs you don't deny it, drink all you can just dont get high And if you feel it start to hurt, Just buy another, Say let's get worse. [chorus] Don't fall under temptation, If drinking for the nation Is getting you down. 'Cos every penny that you spend Goes to defend The one you love. No it's not mine if you haven't a drink No pain no gain Hand in glove Don't ever think if thinking brings you down Don't ever think if thinking brings you down etc.
