well i'm fairly drunk right now, not too bad. and i'm listening to one of the best songs ever written:

I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)

[Repeat to fade:]
Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Levellers: Just the one

Do you fancy a drink,
Just the one,
To clear your head,
We won't be long.
It's a beautiful day,
To waste away,
There's plenty of time,
For another one.

You know you shouldn't do it,
But see no reason why,
So you blow your mind,
Yeah, yeah,
Uh-ha.

Make mine a short,
I'm getting there,
But where that is,
I couldn't care.
There must be something I havn't tried,
Perhaps that bottle before my eyes.

You know you shouldn't do it,
But you see no reason why,
So you blow your mind,
Yeah, yeah,
Uh-ha.

Through the haze,
The sun goes down,
It's getting late,
Let's hit the town.
Call some friends,
To paint it red,
And feed the animal,
In your head.

You know you shouldn't do it,
But you see no reason why,
So you blow your mind,
Yeah, yeah,
Uh-ha.

They throw you out,
You hit the night,
You go to a club,
You feel alright.
You get a pill,
You take just half,
Then take the rest of it,
For a laugh.

You know you shouldn't do it,
But you see no reason why,
So you blow your mind,
Yeah, yeah,
Uh-ha.

Across the floor,
You think you see,
The one in your dreams,
Your fantasy.
But that last drink,
Has made you blind,
You need the bar,
But it's hard to find.

You know you shouldn't do it,
But you see no reason why,
So you blow your mind,
Yeah, yeah,
Uh-ha.

There's a brand new game,
You want to try,
You line them up,
And it's the first to die.
You think you've won,
But it's time to leave,
And back to your's,
For a cup of tea.

You know you shouldn't do it,
But you see no reason why,
So you blow your mind,
Yeah, yeah,
Uh-ha.

When you find your keys,
And you all fall in,
You spend an hour,
In search of skins.
When all seems lost,
And it's looking grim,
You find the bottle,
Of Christmas gin.

You know you shouldn't do it,
But you see no reason why,
So you blow your mind,
Yeah, yeah,
Uh-ha.

The rest is blank,
And that's the worst,
An empty head,
For an empty purse.
You had a laugh,
So you think,
But in the morning,
You just stink.

You know you shouldn't do it,
But you see no reason why,
So you blow your mind,
Yeah, yeah,
Uh-ha.

So you fancy a drink,
Just the one,
To clear your head,
We won't be long.

Yeah o yeah you seen me walk
On burning bridges
Yeah o yeah you seen me fall
In love with witches
And you know my brain is held
Inside by stitches
Yet you know I did survive
All of your lovely sieges

And you know that I'll pick up
Every time you call
Just to thank you one more time
Alcohol
And you know that I'll survive
Every time you come
Just to thank you one more time
For everything you've done

Alcohol
Alcohol

And I'm sorry some of us
Given you bad name
yeah o yeah, cause without you
Nothing is the same
Yeah o yeah i miss you so
Every time we break up
Just to hit a higher note
Every time we make up

Who's crawlin' up my spine - alcohol
I've been waiting long long time - alcohol
Now you teach me how to rhyme - alcohol
Just don't stab me in the back with cartisol

Now we reunite - alcohol
And forever be divine - alcohol
Screw a light bulb in my head - alcohol
may that ceremony be happy or sad...

Can't go wrong with old-school.

The Cat Empire - The Wine Song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgkHd6eBfoE
Song and melodies change and change
and sway
but they still stay the same
the songs that we sung when the dark days come
are the songs that we sung when we chased them away
if I ever found a pot of gold
I'd buy bottles untold of the nectar of the vines
I'm going to die with a twinkle in my eye
‘cause I sung songs spun stories loved laughed and drank wine
Tomorrow is another day
the cats are out to play, to play
that old rusty spaceship wants to sail
into the milky way again
on a river of red red wine
Run...
(let's have some)
Fun...
(we'll)
Drink...
(a toast to the)
Sun...
In summer the bushfires rage and rage
and rage
on such beautiful days
and we fight them with water that runs through the cracks
water we're desperately trying to save
so I'll just live on wine and water my vines
and sleep on the wind with the fires right behind
and sing on the beaches and dance through the night
oh we'll cry 'pass the wine, pass the wine, pass the wine'
Run...
(let's have some)
Fun...
(we'll)
Drink...
(a toast to the)
Sun...
Oh what a beautiful day today!
today's a day to celebrate
grab your bucket, grab your spade
we're heading down to Half Moon Bay
I saw a plane go into a cloud
I'm drunk I'm happy I'm singing and loud
two o'clock in the arvo, but hey that's allowed...
I'm having a good time and of that I am proud
