this one is pretty self explanatory;-) its a pretty dark themed tune.
Nobody should wake up at their own wake!
This fella has problems!
lyrics
I drank myself to sleep again last night
I drank myself to sleep again last night
That bottle was my friend, until the biter end
I drank myself to sleep again last night
i cried myself to sleep again last night
i cried myself to sleep again last night
I cried so many years, and i drank so many beers
And i drank myself to sleep again last night
And i drank that whisky down, i drank it down
Til everything was quiet, not a sound
Just my dreams inside my head, wishin you were in my bed
Still i drank that whiskey down, i drank it down
I swore myself to sleep again last night
I swore myself to sleep again last night
I mustve called you every name, I cursed you most profane
I swore myself to sleep again last night
I talked myself to sleep again last night
I talked myself to sleep again last night
I argued with myself, took that bottle from the shelf
And i drank myself to sleep again last night
And i drank that whisky down, i drank it down
Til everything was quiet, not a sound
Just my dreams inside my head, wishin you were in my bed
Still i drank that whiskey down, i drank it down
I drank myself to death again last night
I drank myself to death again last night
Seems twas just too much to take
I woke up at my own wake
Finally drank myself to death again last night
And i drank that whisky down, i drank it down
Til everythingw as quiet, not a sound
Just my dreams inside my head, wishin you were in my bed
Still i drank that whiskey down, i drank it down

This was my first records as a full member of The Electrics. my song Rollin Home features the late, great Stuart Adamson of The Skids/Big Country on guest Ebow guitar. monsterpop
This Electrics album features my song KayDee's Lament, which was written for a special person who is no longer with us,and it means a lot to me. I got to sing it on the album too. monsterpop
