Whiskey Man Lyrics
Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine
Nobody has ever seen him, I'm the only one
Seemingly I must be mad, Insanity is fun
If that's the way it's done
Doctors say he just a figment of my twisted mind
If they can't see my Whiskey Man they must be going blind
Two men dressed in white collected me two days ago
They said there's only room for one and Whiskey Man can't go
Whiskey Man will waste away if he's left on his own
I can't even ring him 'cause he isn't on the phone
Hasn't got a home
Life is very gloomy in my little padded cell
It's a shame there wasn't room for Whiskey Man as well
Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine
Just fine
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine
Seemingly I must be mad, Insanity is fun
If that's the way it's done
If they can't see my Whiskey Man they must be going blind
They said there's only room for one and Whiskey Man can't go
I can't even ring him 'cause he isn't on the phone
Hasn't got a home
It's a shame there wasn't room for Whiskey Man as well
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine
Just fine

hahaha lovely song.
"i can't even ring im ause he isn't on the phone, hasn't got a home" john's great.
love the horn playin in this one, a lot like the part in pictures of lilly
Great song by Entwistle about a guy who's insane and sees this guy, Whiskey Man.
I love this song...it cracks me up every time. Go John!
I read somewhere (most likely in Dear Boy) that this song is about Keith and his many personalities - the most common one: the Whiskey Man
Typical John Entwistle humor here. I love it.
interesting side not: john entwistle couldn't pronounce the 'r' in friend, so they double tracked the first line with him saying "fwend" in one take and "flend" in the other, then melded them together. if you listen closely you can hear it.
I love this song. Fresh and playful yet somewhat dark humour.
