YOU’RE TOO DRUNK TO MAKE A GOOD SONG.


(Verse)
I've heard all those cheerful songs, singing it's party time,
playful notes and lyrics of, liquors and salt and lime.
And up until I met you, I loved to sing along.
But reality is a sour note. You're too drunk to make a good song.

(Chorus)
You're too drunk to make a good song.
You show the disgusting side of booze,
you drink till there's nothing left to loose.
A cheerful note would be all wrong.

Up all night, sleep all day. Stinking like a slob,
Disappear days at a time, won't stay on a job.
Party time has been over, but you're still going strong.
You expect me to cover, the trouble you brought on.

I tried to compromise,
but you put booze above,
So all I got were lies.
I'd get a chorus of,
manipulative apology.
Now I think that that's enough for me.
I listened to it far too long.
You're too drunk to make a good song.

(Verse)
Up-beat music says lets all fly and celebrate.
Liquor Ville's the party place. Hurry don't be late.
Mister drinks a friend of mine, the sentiments all wrong.
Yes reality's a sour note. You're too drunk to make a good song.

(Chorus)
You're too drunk to make a good song.
You show the disgusting side of booze,
you drink till there's nothing left to loose.
A cheerful note would be all wrong.

Up all night, sleep all day. Stinking like a slob,
Disappear days at a time, won't stay on a job.
Party time has been over, but you're still going strong.
You expect me to cover, the trouble you brought on.

I tried to compromise,
but you put booze above,
So all I got were lies.
I'd get a chorus of,
manipulative apology.
Now I think that that's enough for me.
I listened to it far too long.
You're too drunk to make a good song.

(Verse)
Liquor whispers lies to you, inside a boozer's head.
He thinks that he's hot stuff now, with romance long since dead.
Party songs with sexy slants, intoxicating love's all wrong.
Yes reality's a sour note. You're too drunk to make a good song.

(Chorus)
You're too drunk to make a good song.
You show the disgusting side of booze,
you drink till there's nothing left to loose.
A cheerful note would be all wrong.

Up all night. Sleep all day. Reeking skin and breath.
Trying to get close to me. Aphrodisiac effect.
Your Don Juan times been over, but you're still going strong.
You expect me to want you, with the trouble you've brought on.

I've been with men hard working. Sweat California sun.
Licking salt up off the chest, but your sweats a sickening funk.
Don't want your body touching me.
Now I think that that's enough for me.
You're coming on for sex too strong.
You're too drunk to make a good song.

(Verse)
I heard all the fables, the path way to the cure.
Admitting there's a problem, is a sympathy give chance lure.
Get back on the wagon, and the fallacy is you're done.
But reality's a sour note. You're too drunk to make a good song.

(Chorus)
You're too drunk to make a good song.
You show the disgusting side of booze,
you drink till there's nothing left to loose.
A cheerful note would be all wrong.

Up all night, sleep all day. I learned from Alanon,
You wouldn't stick with AA, Admitting don't mean squat.
I stopped the compromise, but beer became your Lord,
Pathetic AA tries, with weekend beer rewards.

(Middle 8)                    
I had to hide my money, since you became a thief.
Then you became abusive, I lived in daily grief.
I once complained you disappeared, for days I wouldn't know,
Now I'd ask please stay out drunk, I'd dread you coming home.

(Chorus Resumed)
I recognized the lies,
but you put booze above,
You'd ignore my cries.
I'd get a chorus of,
manipulative apology.
Now I think that that's enough for me.
I listened to it far too long.
You're too drunk to make a good song.

(Chorus)
You're too drunk to make a good song.
I don't know if you're going to lose,
But I have to cut you loose.
Remember myself I must be strong.

Support and trust are enabling, the rules are not the same.
I can't save anyone but me, the rest is up to him.
He has to hit rock bottom, as long as I stay here...
Life goes on. He's coping, so have another beer.

He doesn't have to try,
He can keep his beer rewards.
as long as you're nearby,
beer can stay his lord.
And manipulative apology
will never end and let you free,
Pity won't help you or him. It's wrong.
They're too drunk to make a good song.

And manipulative apology
will never end and let you free.
It's time you saved yourself. Be strong.
They're too drunk to make a good song.

They're too drunk to make a good song.

They're too drunk to make a good song.
