The Bunker's full and the Marshalls blare Geoff and the band rock it up, up there I've drunk all night, as I've manned the door So just one last beer, then perhaps one more I thought that I knew what time it was But I don't quite know what has happened, because I can't think straight and my vision is blurred I'm sure someone's talking and this voice I've heard says "Since we sat here and began to dine I'm noticing a big decline In your demeanour You've let the grain and grape combine You tried some of those amps of mine So now drink my wine" So, the next part of the story goes We're on Stow Hill, in Vittorio's I feel more drunk as the moments pass I guess Nick F wants to kick my ass I thought that I knew how to hold my drink But I don't quite know why my mind can't think I try to articulate, but alas My conversation is fading fast now "Since we sat here and began to dine I'm noticing a big decline In your demeanour You've let the grain and grape combine You tried some of those amps of mine So now drink my wine" I've just about lasted 'til the biscuits and cheese No more wine Mr. Marshall please But Jim insists and he fills my glass I'm 'pleased' to report that I showed my class! (December back in '93) "Since we sat here and began to dine I'm noticing a big decline In your demeanour You've let the grain and grape combine You tried some of those amps of mine So now drink my wine This big bottle of red's divine So let me pour a glass, or nine For you to indulge You've let the grain and grape combine You tried some of those amps of mine So now drink my wine Since we sat here and began to dine I'm noticing a big decline In your demeanour You've let the grain and grape combine You tried some of those amps of mine So now drink my wine"
