Fretwear - Women Whiskey And Beers

One of our original songs, "Women Whiskey And Beers" tells the story of a certain local musician having to play in an unforgiving bar in Belfast full of drunkards! It's a tongue-in-cheek, Randy Newman-inspired look at the less appealing side of being a performing musician! Enjoy.

::LYRICS::
Watch as the man sings jaded to the crowd
Watch as it's all played out; shouldn't be allowed
Princess to pauper in three easy drinks
And the air, the air, the smokey air - it stinks.

Watch as "loafer lightfoot" will touch all the girls
Watch as the stars melt and the night begins to swirl
Now the monacled mess toasts a glass to lead the cheer
And it's all about the women, whiskey and beers.

Chorus:
Two by the neck and a half' un, make sure that the half' un's hot!
Tonight's about cheap liquor, it ain't what you ain't got,
Two by the neck and a half' un, make sure that the half' un's hot!
Tonight's about cheap liquor, it ain't what you ain't got.

Watch as they wrap the cables entangled with your dreams
Watch as the working man knows it's not all what it seems,
Musical Day-Trippin' hero to Ordinary Man,
Jump into the taxi cab not knowing where he'll land.

Chorus:
Two by the neck and a half' un, make sure that the half' un's hot!
Tonight's about cheap liquor, it ain't what you ain't got,
Two by the neck and a half' un, make sure that the half' un's hot!
Tonight's about cheap liquor, it ain't what you ain't got.

And it's all about the women, whiskey and beers.
