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**** 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
Your 'Ouse
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 s****.
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]
Drinking for England
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.
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
