Twilight Alehouse Lyrics

Is it really true what they're saying
Are you really sure there's nobody come for me
When i'm walking home there is no-one
Once there was a house, full of laughter - so warm
Trying to pretend there is someone
Someone who will care when i need it

I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine
Just a drink, i'll get that drink, and i'm feeling good
Just a drink, i'll get that drink, and i'm feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man again
Now i'm down

When i walk outside, there is nowhere
Children follow me, with their laughter - so cold...
Casting just a glance at the churchyard
Casting just a glance, at my painted female friend.

Now i'm on my way, i am falling
Got to find some 'elp, ooh i will need that now

So i will receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine
Just a drink, i'll get that drink, and i'm feeling good
Just a drink, i'll get that drink, and i'm feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man again
Now i'm down...

I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine
Just a drink, i'll get that drink, and i'm feeling good
Just a drink, i'll get that drink, and i'm feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow, now...

I really like Tony Bank´s drunken organ at the end of this song - captures the alcoholic subject matter very well. But how did Banks do this ? Phil Collins is in his element in this closing instrumental passage - very powerful.
