Song of a Drinking Man Even the midnight rain can't wash away the scent of a drunkard When against the plastered wind I stumble to your place from the local bar Let me in, I won't pass out and I will leave before the break of dawn Don't wake the kids, just tell 'em dad loves 'em when I'm gone We could've had it all happiness and mediocrity But I found a greater love, oh what a fool a man can be I fell for its deceit and lost my daughters, lost my wife And still in my darkest hour I told myself I had the time of my life Why I booze, why I drink The reason is simpler than you think Not to escape, not because I'm weak It just makes life a little less bleak I know I've done mistakes, I've done wrong I will make it better, always the same song Desperate chase for that high There's a strand of hope in my bald-faced lie When I give the bottle a good French kiss Deeper I fall into the dark abyss The promise is forgotten along with the dram People never change, I'm who I am I'm sorry for the hurt I've caused, for what I've done there's no excuse Before you start your preaching, try walk a mile in my beggar's shoes No, I don't expect your trust, I don't need you to treat me like a snake Won't you throw me a fiver so I get a fix to get rid of the shakes Why I booze, why I drink The reason is simpler than you think Not to escape, not because I'm weak It just makes life a little less bleak I know I've done mistakes, I've done wrong I will make it better, always the same song Desperate chase for that high There's a strand of hope in my bald-faced lie When I give the bottle a good French kiss Deeper I fall into the dark abyss The promise is forgotten along with the dram People never change, I'm who I am...

Perfect Strangers Bending in my hands the card you sent from New York You had to cross Atlantic before I felt close to you But is it so, lil’ sis, that we've become so estranged that all we have to say can fit into a few lines? Cut off ties - the bond still remains We are the perfect strangers who've met somewhere in time in previous life If I could I would go back in time and change the moment we drifted apart, and I wouldn't let you leave If I could I would go back in time and be the brother I should have been But what's once been broken can't be the same again I'm really sorry for all the birthdays I've missed Maybe I'm selfish or I don't know how to approach I man up and call you to say it's all alright Before you answer, cowardly I hang up Chained by blood, hearts apart We are the perfect strangers who are sharing the mutual déjà-vu If I could I would go back in time and change the moment we drifted apart, and I wouldn't let you leave If I could I would go back in time and be the brother I should have been 'Cause you cannot change what you're afraid of You cannot miss what you haven't lost If I could I would go back in time and change the moment we drifted apart, and I wouldn't let you leave If I could I would go back in time and change the moment we drifted apart, and I wouldn't let you leave If I could I would go back in time and be the brother I should have been 'Cause you cannot change what you're afraid of You cannot miss what you haven't lost
