Starsailor - Alcoholic

Love Is Here, 2001.


LYRICS

"Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes?
Daddy was an alcoholic,
But your mother kept it all inside,
She threw it all away,
I was looking for another you,
And I found another one,
I was looking for another you,
When I looked round by you were gone,

Stand by my side,
And the pipe dream is yours now,
Stand by my side,
And the singer won't get in our way,

Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes?
And Daddy was an alcoholic,
But your mother kept it all inside,
She threw it all away,
I was looking for another you,
And I found another one,
I was looking for another you,
When I looked round by you were gone,

Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes?
Daddy was an alcoholic,
But you mother kept it all inside,
Threw it all away,
I was looking for another you,
When I looked round by you were gone,

Stand by my side,
And the pipe dream is yours now,
Stand by my side,
And the cynics won't get in our way,

I was looking for another chance,
See your blue eyed problem"

on saturday i got my dad out of my life, i've made a promise to myself that i wont be anything like him when i grow up.

[RedMambaYard]

@LTFCLAD

I wish you the strength to stick to that purpose then and not to ever lose that moment of clarity. Thanks for passing by.

[biketorque2007]

Every time I hear this song and look in the mirror and realize I'm taking after my dad and been an alcoholic.

Its become such a reality check now, I'm actually doing something about it.

[RedMambaYard]

@biketorque2007

Yes, this song is very intense and cuts deep if one has lived and felt what it describes.

To do something about it is the only way to show you've really learnt the lesson, but it takes so much strength...big up to you man!

[biketorque2007]

@RedMambaYard

You just hit the nail on the head, been clean for about 3 weeks now :)

@biketorque2007

[quashky]

Please don't take your baby to the liquor store - it's not the kind of bottle that he's looking for... :D

[TheEliblood]

@LTFCLAD hang in there people with a drinking probleme are hard to live with. But think that you're not alone and others will be there to support you. That song opened my eyes

[bry90210]

[SuperAnnouli]

Το αγαπω!

[l3ieberfever]

when i was a little girl, my dad would play this song in the car, and id just sit there singing along to it.

[240pAssassin]

where are these dudes? so underated this band and the fact that music today is being saturated with shit filth pop doesnt help

[RunfjortisRun]

happy fathers day, daddy. I tried, but i can't do it anymore..

First time i'm saying this loud and not in my mind. My father is an Alcoholic.

[avaonthemoon]

I always thought he sings " I was looking for another you and I found another war"

made sense to me
