Drink Lyrics by UK Decay

New Hope For The Dead

0

To lies, to the truth, may it all be forsaken
All those promises, made just for breaking

To god, to the dark lord, one thing is true
I thank you, kind drink, for getting me through
To the death of a father, to the bitch of a sister
For the bullying brother when the odds knock you down
To the place that was home, no welcome no more
To the gossips, tittle tattle, that hurt even more
To the ticket inspector, for the sad ageing whores
And to Hamburg at twilight, is that what beauty is for?

Shite music TV, to thе alehouse on closing
To all of the soaps whosе shock is a bore
For the doorman with no hope of William Shakespeare
Enlightening his small world at all
And the sneer of the bad cop and the ticket he's writing
To the black man whose struggle will never be done
To the rain and the sun
To the bald spot and the bad breath father time will endow
Erectile dysfunction advert that plays on the mind
60 pound fines that double in no time
Every politician in self-interest deception
The tight arsed at funerals, grazing on a free reception

To the waitress whose smile disappears at 11
When all of a sudden your custom ain't welcome
If you look at my corpse just know that it had
The best mother and father in the drinking it had
Save me, no, don't save me, just join the line
Behind the whiskey and the vodka, and the amber and lime
The dark stout, the shot's clout at the end of the night
So forgiving, it tolerates the bland

Man against man, I thank you kind drink that I held in this hand
To the vampire banks, and the buses I missed
The baiting of hooligans cross-eyed and pissed
"Princess on board"-signs
Shopping centres full of designer status for the poor lines
Value added taxes that add no value to life at all
Negative thinking, every celebrity fall
The one prayer that's answered when heaven is true
Thank you kind drink for getting me through

That one prayer that's answered when heaven is true
I thank you kind drink for getting me through
I thank you kind drink for getting me through
Amen
