Cover art for Alcoholiday lyrics by Teenage Fanclub

This song and The Concept are like a pair of anthems to guys who are too restless to settle down. Maybe this is the breakup speech he gave to the girl who he hurt even though he didn't want to (in The Concept).

I believe he says:

"what I've done I leave behind me, I don't want my soul to find me"
