Just a Few Lyrics

I think it bit me in my early teens

And it's been here with me ever since

My ramshackle liver, like me, still here

Banking on living for a few more years

'Cos every time the world takes me to task

I have a few drinks and I have a few laughs

I know I can't get given everything I ask

But I've got the balls and I've got some brass

And if it doesn't work out I know I'll get another chance

And it'll work out fine after I pour another glass

I've got a flask of whiskey

A bottle of wine

And a few cold beers, so I'll be fine

A few more drinks, just a few

To stop me thinking ill of you

A few more drinks to get me through

Not too many, just a few

Well, maybe I'm just another dope full of expectation

Full of tipsy hopes in a hopeless situation

You're not the first and you won't be the last

To get the call from the bottom of the glass

But all the water under the bridge

Not made to order but not all a bitch

I could be forgiven for wishing for more

For what I've been given and I've been given what for

And so back on the couch doing what comes naturally

Pouring out what god has given me

I've got a flask of whiskey

A bottle of wine

And a few cold beers, so I'll be fine

A few more drinks, just a few

To stop me thinking ill of you

A few more drinks to get me through

No, not too many, just a few
