Mr gone-a-while
Crooked teeth, rotten smile
Followed by the thick stench ae whisky breath and strong denial
Yeah the combination's volatile
Oan ma back skulling through a swamp full ae crocodiles
Catch me oan the quartermile
Queasy off eh yellae gummies
Mixing wi' the butterflies and rennies in my empty tummy
Stubbing ciggies in an empty stubby
These days me and depression are like the best ae buddies
Ill-sequestered money
Still ain't paid the council tax
Cradle tae the grave on some Andrzej Bartokowiak
Miss me wi' the cheap shots
Hit me wi' the sour schnapps
Down the hatch one too many Tenents like a crowded flat
Out the back big Ronnie sells the patrons gear
Ain't no angel here save for saint maria
Fine grained veneer
Whisky in the kegs
Slumped at the bar wi' ma head in hand sipping' at the
Dreggs

Slumped at the bar wi' ma head in hand sippin' at the dreggs
...Kinda morbid innit
Truth be told a can't picture anyhing more idyllic
But the novelty's been worn a minute
Lady liquor settlin' ma head like she's pouring Guinness
Sorry four's eh limit
Lemme raise a dregg tae toast every transplanted organ ever to reject it's host.
Scalpel
Stethoscope
Prep the anaesthetic dose
Board eh directors dissecting the projected growth
Nearly gave masel' the boak
'Sa rough procedure
Keep the hunger hidden underneath a gruff demeanour
Stumble free ae death's clutches lean huffing ether
Jist as Thumbelina sunk a thimbleful ae oven cleaner
Fuck
Spinnin' off eh vertigo
Learnt tae keep a melon baller handy like am Myrtle Snow
Turn tae go
Gasping oan a zed
Lookin' haggard, shootin' daggers at you while am swatchin' on the
