Drinking In The Day lyrics
Well I met her up on Leeson Street of a Tuesday afternoon
In Summer's fallen colours, sulking back to school I asked her would she linger, and she asked me would she stay Would she keep a girl in company, drinking in the day? Drinking, Drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, Drinking We'll go drinking in the day She was almost a woman, she was going on sixteen She asked me to go walking, In Saint Stephen's Green She said I love the sunshine, and to hear the children play. But I won't be distracted when I'm drinking in the day. With her flashing eyes and milk white lies she looked like a song Like the ghost of a woman that first made me go wrong She said I'll have a drink with you but I said you'll have to pay For a comprehensive education Drinking in the day Drinking, Drinking Drinking and not thinking Drinking, Drinking We'll go drinking in the day If her mother could have seen us on that bright November day Botticelli and his angel perambulating Ormand Quay A drunken blessed virgin, me rhetorious and gay Bestowing ancient wisdom as to what made me this way [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_tossers/drinking_in_the_day.html ] Well here it is: Deny your friends and family To serve you must betray Break and enter heaven Well you'll steal but never save Well you'll squander every penny And you'll empty every heart And you'll travel every darkened road You'll never finish what you start And you'll always talk to strangers And make love with whom you may For God will find good company For your drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking and not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day So spend your youth on poetry, and spend your cash at play Every line upon my face is for a girl who went away A kiss, and a song, are fleeting things and fame will always stray So I'll tell the truth, the best spent youth, is the one you throw away Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking, drinking We'll go drinking in the day Drinking, drinking Drinking... not thinking Drinking...
