Just The One Lyrics

Do you fancy a drink
Just the one
To clear your head
We won't be long
It's a beautiful day
To waste away
There's plenty of time
For another one

You know you shouldn't do it
But can't see no reason why
So blow your mind

Make mine a short
I'm getting there
But where there is
I couldn't care
There must be something
I haven't tried
Perhaps that bottle
before my eyes

Through the haze
The sun goes down
It's getting late
Let's hit the town
Call some friends
To paint it red
Feed the animal
In your head

They throw you out
You hit the night
Go to a club
You feel alright
You get a pill
Take just half
Then take the rest of it
For a laugh

The rest is blank
And that's the worst
An empty head
For an empty purse
You had a laugh
Or so you think
But in the morning
You just stink

So you fancy a drink
It's just the one
To clear your head
We won't be long

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Across the floor You think you see The one of your dreams Your fantasy But that last drink Has made you blind You need the bar But it's hard to find

[Chorus]

It's a brand new game You want to try, You line them up And it's the first to die You think you've won but it's time to leave And it's back to yours for a cup of tea

[Chorus]

You find your keys And you all fall in You spend an hour And search your skins When all seems lost And it's looking grim You find the bottle Of christmas gin

[Chorus]

The rest is blank And that's the worst An empty head For an empty purse You had a laugh Or so you think But in the morning You just stink

So you fancy a drink It's just the one To clear your head We won't be long
