Divine Comedy - A Drinking Song Lyrics
Back at the house a bottle is foundAnd opened in honour of those who have drownedWhile we who have not are stricken with guiltAnd dutifully see that not one drop is spiltWere drinking to life, were drinking to deathWere drinking till none of our livers are leftWere winding our way down to the spirit storeWell drink till we just cant drink any moreRaise your glasses high!Drink the cellar dry!Well bloody my nose and blacken my eyeIf it aint some young punk in search of a fightAnd shaunticles chest is sagging with prideFor honour has yet to be satisfiedWell heaven be thanked we live in an ageWhere no man need bother except on the stageWith dulce et decorum est pro patria moriAnd definitely not tonight...I can still rememberWhen I was just a kidI was free to do what I wanted toBut never ever didAnd now with years of discretion reached may we not forgetLiberte egalite fraterniteFor theres life in the old world yetTherell always be an englandAn ireland and our franceA lichtenstein and finlandFor we have only one chanceThen this young man with an unhealthy tanPuts a drink in my hand and says I understandYoure in search of a place to continue the chaseOf the heavenly taste I suggest in that caseThat you all come with me to my place by the seaWhere the glasses shall be overflowing with freeAlcoholic delights (and free love if you like)For what point has this life if you cant realise your dreams?Raise your glasses high!Drink the town dry!Well drink beyond the boundaries of senseWell drink till we start to see lovely pink elephantsInside our heads, inside our beds, inside ? ? ? ?So dont shoot till you see the reds of our eyesAnd an army of elephants marching behindFrom the night I was born till the day I will dieAll my lovers will be pink and elephantine!
