Ten minutes flat after a bad day in the factory, I'm drinking like a dog in the sun, I don't need to eat or sleep a wink, at the weekend, Just rot my guts And I can't wait for my next drink, The first one is gonna sink, I'm the last of the big time drinkers, I take pride in my work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers The beer don't taste the same without my name painted on my glass I don't live to work I work to live, And live at the weekend, and maybe spend a week in the sun, I come home, wet the bed, throw my sheets out the window, And Sunday morning comes And I can't wait for my next drink, The first one is gonna sink, I'm the last of the big time drinkers, I take pride in my work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers The beer don't taste the same without my name painted on my glass And I can't wait for my next drink, The first one is gonna sink, I'm the last of the big time drinkers, I take pride in my work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers Just give me hops or the slops, I'm the last of the big time drinkers I take pride in the work, I'm the last of the big time drinkers glass.
Goldfish Bowl
Same long faces in the work-mans hall, Caramel Crisp counts his birds, Cliff Chips lines up his dominoes, Kingfisher lead singer calms his nerves I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, Beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl, It's sink or swim The hall down town just burnt to the ground, My boxing ring turned to ash, Red-head, ginger bread, sells tickets at the door, Stella sleep walks in the sand I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, Beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl, It's sink or swim, Looking in, They're looking in Hard up, outta luck, time to ride the village bike, A bike been used ten times or more,
Grape vine, here's the wife, lays down her royal flush, I think I've lost another wife I'm drinking, sinking, swimming,
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning, I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, Beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl, It's sink or swim, They're looking in, its sink or swim
Too Many Sandwiches
Shopping spree for the family tree, Haven't seen your family tree in quite a while, Too many sandwiches and wine, Sherry stains down your best mans tie, what a speech, The band arrives, the granny's cry, The singer's tongue's in the barmaid's mouth what a voice, Grandpa drank a drop or two, And his heads still sunk in the portaloo, what a man You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breast, The disco's late and he's overpaid tonight, You got a diamond ring and a man who sings, The man who sings made love to the barmaid twice, And that's just tonight The blue rinsed hairs, lift up their chairs, The band's too loud, they're off downstairs, What a noise, The bride and groom dance, they dance that dance, And the singer mimes, there's still a chance, The barmaid smiles You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breast, The disco's late and he's overpaid tonight, You got a diamond ring and a man who sings, The man who sings made love to the barmaid twice, And that's just tonight Ha na na, ha na na Ha na na, Ha na na, ha na na You bought a sequin dress for your chicken breast, The disco's late and he's overpaid tonight, You got a diamond ring and a man who sings, The man who sings made love to the barmaid twice, Ha, Grandpa drank a drop or two, His heads still sunk in the portaloo again, The bride and groom dance, they dance that dance, And the singer mimes, there's still a chance, tonight, And the barmaid smiles
Billy Davey's Daughter
I never knew her name, I only knew her fame, She lived near my town, Another goldfish to drown, I just passed the bridge, That parts us from them, The bridge that she used, again and again, again I remember when they found her, Billy Davey's daughter, The word gets around Billy Davey's second daughter threw herself to dirty water, Billy's left with nothing but a dream, Billy Davey's second daughter threw herself to dirty water, Billy's left with nothing but a dream, He dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams He dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams The word gets around
