the battle of the booze
Singer:proclaimers, the
in chilly northern climates
where they could not grow the vine
they perfected a distillation
which has stood the test of time
as the drink of peasantry
it has conquered half the world
with its ghostly subtlety
in the battle of the booze
it hits you when you're up
kicks you when you're down
while sailing through the world
the first one on a friday
is my highlight of the week
it's the first stop on the journey
i'll take this way in future
as i took this way before
it warms me from the inside
in the battle of the booze
it hits you when you're up
kicks you when you're down
while sailing through the world
many are the kinds of agitation that it stills
equalling the number of the brain cells that it kills
its aim is true and so are you when you have it imbibed
it loves to bring to light what you keep hidden
in the battle of the booze
it hits you when you're up
and it kicks you when you're down
while sailing through the world
in the battle of the booze
it hits you when you're up
and it kicks you when you're down
while sailing through the world
