Drink & Fight - Mudmen

The streets are littered with thousands of people that you've never met Names that you would thought you'd remember Knew you'd always forget Memories stripped from the past The questions that never got asked Like a broken down car in an old parking lot Means nothing at all but it's that you got And the moment is slippin' away The answers you give aren't that great It's like all the you do it's just old and they're new and they're lost [Piping solo] All of your mistresses lied To save your relationships, save you from time When you slip into knowing that nothing is going to kill you faster than life In the end you're just moments away From the chances you thought you might take It's like all that you do it just old and they're new and they're lost And the words that you tried hard to say get caught in the noose that you made It's like all that you do is just old and they're new and they're lost In the end you're just moments away from the chances you thought you might take It's like all that you do is just old and they're new and they're lost (x3) [Guitar solo] ((all that you are is not All that you forgot Hold on to what you got (x2)) In the end you're just moments away from the chances you thought you might take It's like that all you do is just old and they're new and they're lost The street is littered with thousands of people that you've never met Names that you thought you'd remember Knew that you'd always forget ((all that you are is not All that you was forgot (x3)) Hold on to what you got (x4)

Well I walked on down to the pub again And sank into the oblivion When I ran into my old friend Pat Who knew just where my head was at We made our way to the end of the bar And ordered up ourselves a jar When someone said it's not quite noon I said it's early but, it's not too soon It's five o'clock somewhere, it's time for another Yeah, I'm gonna drink it all up, oh my ale is dear. Well it's what I need today, Cause I've been working like a slave And my head feels like a gun And it's all been said and done Well I'm caught up in the craze Like some beggar on the stray There's a lunatic inside That keeps me wasted all the time To the pubs I will go Where I'll drink With my brothers and your sisters And your mothers and your lovers To the pubs we will go Where we'll sync with each other With your sisters with your brothers With you mothers It's five o'clock somewhere It's time for another Days never seem so long But the nights were never long enough It's five o'clock somewhere so let's have another Yeah, I'm gonna drink it all up, oh my ale is dear Oh well the night here never ends It's always five up in the den So I'll hang around and get into your gutter We can rant and we can rave 'til they put us in a grave Then we'll get up and we'll have ourselves another It's five o'clock somewhere, it's time for another Days never seem so long, but the night were never long enough It's five o'clock somewhere so let's have another Yeah, I'm gonna drink it all up, oh my ale is dear.

We arrived in December and London was cold So we stayed in the bars along Charring cross road We never saw nothing but brass taps and oak Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats You'll have to excuse me I'm not at my best I've been gone for a month, I been drunk since I left These so called vacations won't soon be my death I'm so sick of the drink, I need home for a rest Easton station the train journeyed north And in the buffet car we lurched back and forth Passed odd crooked dykes and through Yorkshire's green field We where flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled Chorus By the light of the moon she'd drift through the streets A rare old perfume so seductive and sweet She teased us and flirt as the pubs all closed down Then walk us on home and deny us a round Chorus The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb And the spirits we drank are now ghosts in the room I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon And don't lift up my head till the twelve bells of noon Chorus out
