Kinks - Alcohol Lyrics
Here is a story about a sinner,He used to be a winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and position,But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements,And his selfish wifes fanatical ambition,It turned him to the booze,And he got mixed up with a floosieAnd she led him to a life of indecision.The floosie made him spend his doleShe left him lying on skid rowA drunken lag in some salvation army mission.Its such a shame.Oh demon alcohol,Sad memories I cannot recall,Who thought I would say,Damn it all and blow it all,Oh demon alcohol,Memories I cannot recall,Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol.Barley wine pink gin,Hell drink anything,Port, pernod or tequila,Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks,As long as all his troubles disappeared.But he messed up his life and he beat up his wife,And the floosies gone and found another suckerShes gonna turn him on to drinkShes gonna lead him to the brinkAnd when his moneys gone,Shell leave him in the gutter,Its such a shame.Oh demon alcohol,Sad memories I cannot recall,Who thought I would fall,A slave to demon alcohol.
