Alcohol Problem

from The Bitter Lie by Doctor Millar

/

lyrics

You've got an alcohol problem you're putting on weight but apart from that you're looking great, at least that's what you say when you meet an old friend, you wake up biting the carpet again.
You haven't cared since you can't remember, you spray on a smell and you change your shirt, your life is one long pointless struggle to hide the dirt, hide the dirt.
You've got an alcohol problem your close to tears, you've written three lines in the last two years - on the back of an envelope all poets carry addressed to the woman you should have married saying
'Angel I'm sorry, Angel forget me, Angel forget that you ever met me'
so here's one for the barman, set em up joe, one more for my baby and one more for the road.
And here's to the man you've been dying to kill, you're dying to die and this rate you will, five years ago your words brought tears to my eyes but these days it's just hello and goodbye
to your alcohol problem, you feel so alone and one of these days you're going to make it home, and they'll all admit you were right to go, but jesus christ what would they know...
