Song detail

A song based on a famous football song that I learned on the terraces at St. James Park in my youth when I was part of the Toon Army. Taken from a short 3-track CD called "Binge" dedicated to North East England. The other two songs are Geordie folk songs I wrote years ago but never recorded. Nobody would agree to play them until "Big Onion".

The lyrics:

In my youth I learned a song
A song that never steered my wrong
The message was simple, heaven sent
You didn�t have to think about what it meant
It went drink, drink wherever you may be
We are the drunk and disorderly
Since that day my life unfurled
I�ve drank my way around the world

I�m at the bar. I�m at the bar
Kippis, Sl�inte, Sl�nte mh�r
No matter where I am, I�m out all night
No matter what they speak I spout my shite

I�m at the bar. I�m at the bar
Sante, Zum wohl, iechyd da
No matter what they serve, I drink my fill
No matter what it costs, I pay my bill

Cheers

I�m uncouth. I must admit
I fart in the bath and I look like shit
And sometimes I get very loud
I sing my song in the middle of the crowd
It goes drink, drink wherever you may be
We are the drunk and disorderly
Lekker een pilsje als je blieft
Thank you pet, you�re very sweet.

Chorus

To tell the truth, I might be wrong
To live my life by a stupid song
I know it�s unwise, I�ll end up dead
I can�t get the damned words out my head
It goes drink, drink wherever you may be
We are the drunk and disorderly
Una cerveza por favor
Now I�ve got time for just one more

Chorus

I�m at the bar, I�m at the bar
