I’ve got a handful of nothing a headful of dreams A thousand situations not quite what they seem My passion is high my patience has gone It’s the same old story from dusk till dawn Running on faith living on hope A tug of war at both ends of the rope God takes care of the drunks and the fools In this lifetime I have being both And the Devil makes work for idle hands to do Got a hole in my pocket a hole in my shoe My wishes cast away trying to hold on It’s a never ending story from dusk till dawn I can’t stop moving I won’t stand still A million conversations too much time to kill The future is bright the past is done They tell me don’t look back into the sun Running on faith, living on hope Burning the candle smoking the dope God takes care of the drunks and the fools If you follow the signs and abide by the rules And the Devil makes work for idle hands to do Got a hole in my pocket a hole in my shoe My wishes cast away trying to hold on It’s a never ending story from dusk till dawn Running on hope living on faith All good things come to those who wait God takes care of the drunks and the fools In this lifetime I have being both

When I go in to a pub I’ve never been in I pray to god there’s some descent beer on When I walk through the door and scan the bar I hope to see a few hand pumps there Or maybe they’ll have some descent bottles Or maybe craft beer in cans Or maybe they’ll have some Belgium Lagers Or maybe some Sapporo from Japan But I can’t drink Tetley’s Smooth Carling Carlsberg Fosters or John Smith Extra Smooth I can’t drink Tetley’s Smooth Carling Carlsberg Fosters or John Smith Extra Smooth No I can’t drink that chemical tasting muck It always gives me headache The next day I feel dead rough No I can’t drink Tetley’s Smooth Carling Carlsberg Fosters or John Smiths Extra Smooth Maybe they’ll have some descent bottles Or maybe craft beer in cans Or maybe they have Sierra Nevada Or something else nice American But I can’t drink Tetley’s Smooth Carling Carlsberg Fosters or John Smith Extra Smooth No I can’t drink Tetley’s Smooth Carling Carlsberg Fosters or John Smith Extra Smooth Or maybe they’ll have some descent bottles Or maybe craft beer in cans Or maybe they’ll have some Polish Lagers Or maybe some Sapporo from Japan Or maybe they’ll have some descent bottles Or maybe craft beer in cans Or maybe they have some Brooklyn Lager Or something else nice American But I can’t drink Tetley’s Smooth Carling Carlsberg Fosters or John Smith Extra Smooth No I can’t drink Tetley’s Smooth Carling Carlsberg Fosters or John Smith Extra Smooth And I wish some pubs would learn to clean the lines out I wish some pubs would serve straight from the cask And I wish some pubs would remove the Sparkler ’cause there the pubs that are surely gonna last But I can’t drink Tetley’s Smooth Carling Carlsberg Fosters or John Smith Extra Smooth I can’t drink Tetley’s Smooth Carling Carlsberg Fosters or John Smith Extra Smooth No I can’t drink that chemical tasting muck It always gives me headache The next day I feel dead rough No I can’t drink Tetley’s Smooth Carling Carlsberg Fosters or John Smiths Extra Smooth ’cause we all know they taste shite

On a Thursday Evening in September 2012 I met someone I wish I never had I had to make the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make in my entire life For I’m a terrible liar And I’d make a terrible cheat But you set my world on fire And you could fall at my feet On the 28th of September 2012 I made the decision I’d quickly live to regret After 13 years, 9 months and 28 days I walked away from the best thing in my life For I’m a terrible liar And I’d make a terrible cheat But you set my world on fire And you could fall at my feet And I’m a terrible liar And I’d make a terrible cheat But you set my world on fire And you could fall at my feet And do you still have that bottle of Lambs Navy Rum You had in the cupboard of your Kitchen And do you still have the Hopton glass I used to drink it from When I came round on a Friday night And It’s amazing how the stupidest little thing Trigger a memory of something that happened years ago And I’m a terrible liar And I’d make a terrible cheat But you set my world on fire And you could fall at my feet And I’m a terrible liar And I’d make a terrible cheat But you set my world on fire And you could fall at my feet

Look at me I’ll look at you A lot to say that much is true Contemplate the lows and highs A lifetimes passed before your eyes Look at me I’ll look at you A lot to say that much is true Contemplate the lows and highs A lifetimes passed before your eyes But I can’t find reason why Why you should be the jealous type A reason why will still remain I shake my head and rack my brain Rack my brain And I can’t find a reason for it I just can’t put my finger on it Suppose you had to be there Sometimes it’s just like Jackanory When you don’t.t know the full story Of that you need to be aware And there’s no need to pick a side Or to conquer and divide It’s true that we all make mistakes That contribute to heartache But I still I can’t find reason why Why you should be the jealous type A reason why will still remain I shake my head and rack my brain Rack my brain And I can’t find a reason for it I just can’t put my finger on it Suppose you had to be there Sometimes it’s just like Jackanory When you don’t know the full story Of that you need to be aware And I can’t find a reason for it I just can’t put my finger on it Suppose you had to be there Sometimes it’s just like Jackanory When you don’t.t know the full story Of that you need to be aware

Well it only takes one look And your heart melts and your whole world has being shook And there’s nothing you can do As something’s got a hold on you Well you never stood a chance After just one fleeting glance And there’s nothing you can do As something’s got a hold on you And it’s like an itch that you just can’t scratch Way out of reach in the middle of your back A desire for something, something you can’t have And we all share the same stars But healing wounds always leave scars Tis better to have loved and lost than not loved at all Not loved at all Should have looked the other way But now it’s much too late And there’s nothing you can do As something’s got a hold on you And it’s like an itch that you just can’t scratch Way out of reach in the middle of your back A desire for something, something you can’t have And we all share the same stars But healing wounds always leave scars Tis better to have loved and lost than not loved at all Not loved at all Not loved at all Not loved at all Not loved at all And it’s like an itch that you just can’t scratch Way out of reach in the middle of your back A desire for something, something you can’t have And we all share the same stars But healing wounds always leave scars Tis better to have loved and lost than not loved at all Not loved at all

Have you ever set foot inside a pub a cafe bar or working men’s club When you stop for a minute and think what on earth am I gonna drink There’s no Angrams on the bar there’s nothing descent in the fridge It’s the usual suspects on Keg there’s nowt that I would drink Nowt that I would drink Generic cooking lager I wouldn’t drink if it was free I’d rather have a water or a cup of tea I can’t understand why Boozers stock this stuff I suppose some people buy it or otherwise they wou’nt I’d even have a Guinness as a last resort Or a can a Red Stripe if that’s all they’ve got If that’s all they’ve got Some people say I’m a Beer Snob It’s a label I get quite a lot But I just care what goes down my gob Water Malted Barley Yeast and Hops Cask conditioned no lager tops And I don’t mind if I’m a Beer Snob Small independent Breweries make some good Beer these days Even though it’s canned or kegged it beats Fosters in spades As long as it’s not an arm and leg like at Northern Monk Where they charge like a wounded bull it’s even more than Punk It’s even more than Punk Some say that craft beer is hard to define But a quick search on Google reveals the next line A beer produced in a traditional non-mechanised way By a small brewer is what Google says It’s what Google says Some people say I’m a Beer Snob It’s a label I get quite a lot But I just care what goes down my gob Water Malted Barley Yeast and Hops Cask conditioned no lager tops And I don’t mind if I’m a Beer Snob Some people say I’m a Beer Snob It’s a label I get quite a lot But I just care what goes down my gob Water Malted Barley Yeast and Hops Cask conditioned no lager tops And I don’t mind if I’m a Beer Snob A Beer Snob...
