lyrics

Tying the fizz, let it rain, let it drain, let it drain
It's some new-fangled whiz, not the same, but still lame, still so lame
It's made up and weighed up and straight up lies
It's a rotten carcass to a swarm of flies
And I won't believe in a dissolving thing
Like some tablet in water
Let the sickness bring me down
And let it bring me home

Cos I been too drunk to leave
And too sick to care
But I'm hoping that I'll greet you and the cold won't be there
I've felt new in this skin before
But not like this, this is strange, it's more
I swear that it's more
I'm swearing more, but I don't know what for
I only know that it's a war
But I don't know what for

Well I'm bringing it home on loan
It's not mine, I don't own
Don't own a thing that is mine
And it's not ours, not yours, don't think I'd want it anyway
Yeah, it's a tired repeat in a tired street of old clapped-out cars
It's the fireworks in the sky in front of the stars
And I'm swearing more and I can't even watch
For from the ground it's just a war with a bottle of scotch

And I been too drunk to leave
And much too sick to care
But I been hoping that I'll greet you in the cold pure air
I've felt strange in this skin before
But not like this, this is new, it's more
I swear that it's more
I'm swearing more, than I ever have before
And I call an encore
On this old war
It's one that I don't want to ever end
It's a war that will ultimately send me round the bend
It's a war that makes us strangers
And even though I'm aware of the dangers
I still want this war until the bitter end
Till this old world ain't nothing but a husk
And we are but nothing, my friend

The Miserable Little Bastards VIC, Australia

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN! The MLB's are an old-school throwback for the modern day fallout, performing depression- era showtunes for the new recession. Formed in 2008 as a sidekick to drunken pirate convict maniacs Clinkerfield, they released their debut album "Misery Loves Company" in 2011. They're currently on hiatus, as Clinkerfield return to stages after 6 years in absentia. ... more
