Giving It Up (The Drink)

[00:11.58] I'll often go for one or two at the pub beside the park
[00:14.56] Then stay there drinking pints of stout, go home when light is dark
[00:17.32] When I get home, the wife, she's mad and then the fighting starts
[00:20.37] I end up sleeping on the couch, the smell of beer and farts
[00:23.32] Wake in the morning, I'm destroyed, hungover like a dog
[00:26.16] But the dog, he ate my dinner so he's feeling rather glad
[00:29.20] I drag my arse up off the couch, head to the kitchen sink
[00:32.07] It's only 12 steps, but it's much further than you'd think
[00:34.93] I'm giving it up, the drink I tell you, giving it up today
[00:37.96] I'm giving it up, the drink until the morning anyway
[00:40.96] I'm giving it up, the drink I tell you, giving it up today
[00:43.81] I'm giving it up, the drink because my liver I must obey
[00:47.49] I'm giving up the drink
[00:49.33]
[00:59.83] I used to stand beside the bar and watch the drunken fools
[01:02.82] But now we're traded places, and I'm breaking all the rules
[01:05.87] I try my best to sober up, but end up drinking more
[01:08.62] Can only end in tears and dragging myself up off the floor
[01:11.73] The bouncer grabs me by the neck and kicks me up the hole
[01:14.54] He punched me right across the face, it looked like whack a mole
[01:17.34] The coppers arrived and let me out to take me to the clinic
[01:20.29] It's only 12 steps, but it's much harder than you think
[01:23.39] I'm giving it up, the drink I tell you, giving it up today
[01:26.39] I'm giving it up, the drink until the morning anyway
[01:29.26] I'm giving it up, the drink I tell you, giving it up today
[01:32.16] I'm giving it up, the drink because my liver I must obey
[01:35.63] I'm giving up the drink
[01:37.79]
[01:48.04] I've lost the ones I care about, they left me here alone
[01:51.04] Sometimes I try to call them, but they've blocked me on their phones
[01:54.02] Won't see the kids at Christmas, now my wits are on the brink
[01:57.07] Been only 12 days, but it's much longer than you think
[01:59.98] I'm giving it up, the drink I tell you, giving it up today
[02:02.70] I'm giving it up, the drink until the morning anyway
[02:05.74] I'm giving it up, the drink I tell you, giving it up today
[02:08.50] I'm giving it up, the drink because my liver I must obey
[02:11.67] I'm giving it up, the drink I tell you, giving it up today
[02:14.56] I'm giving it up, the drink until the morning anyway
[02:17.48] I'm giving it up, the drink I tell you, giving it up today
[02:20.37] I'm giving it up, the drink because my liver I must obey
[02:24.34]
[02:33.63] One, two, three, go!
