lyrics

So I've written some songs about some girls
'Spose I've written a couple, it's true
And a couple of them might've even been about you

It's always the same old shit
Where'd you go? Why'd you leave? Please come back!
Why, why, why, why, why?
I guess a song is where the heartache seems to fit

And I'm sick of all of it, yeah I'm sick of all it
I'm sick of all the poets, and I'm sick of all the singers
They're just a drunk bunch of whiners
And here I am drinking again

I'm tired, tired of singing songs about you and I
They live on when you really should die
But it's a wonderful way to get by
Getting paid for these stories in wine
Wine
Whine
Whinge

Well if the bottle is my friend, then you must be the enemy
'Cos you take up so much of my time
When I could be out drinking all that wine

And Cohen said, "Many have loved before us"
He knew, yeah, he knew that we are not new
And I'll drink to that sad bastard
There ain't nothing special about me him or you

And maybe I drink to much beer
But I have done for years
Why would I stop now? Don't think I'd even know how
For when I'm singing my songs at the bar
They keep on giving me drinks and I keep on playing my guitar

Didn't you know you're half-famous?
When I sing you're half the star

And I'm tired, tired of singing songs about you and I
They give you life when you really should die
Oh, but it's a wonderful way to get by
Yeah, it's a wonderful way to get by
You get paid for your stories with wine
Wine
Whine
Whinge

Wine
Gets me every time

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
