The Levellers - Just The One lyrics

rate me

Do you fancy a drink

Just the one

To clear your head

We won't be long

It's a beautiful day

To waste away

There's plenty of time

For another one

You know you shouldn't do it

But can't see no reason why

So blow your mind

Make mine a short

I'm getting there

But where there is

I couldn't care

There must be something

I haven't tried

Perhaps that bottle

before my eyes

Through the haze

The sun goes down

It's getting late

Let's hit the town

Call some friends

To paint it red

Feed the animal

In your head

They throw you out

You hit the night

Go to a club

You feel alright

You get a pill

Take just half

Then take the rest of it

For a laugh

Across the floor

You think you see

The one in your drams

Your fantasy

But that last drink

Has made you blind

You need the bar

But it's hard to find

You know you shouldn't do it

But can't see no reason why

So blow your mind

There's a brand new game

You want to try

Called "lining them up"

It's the first to die

You think you've won

but it's time to leave

All back to yours

for a cup of tea

You know you shouldn't do it

But can't see no reason why

So blow your mind

When you find your keys

You all fall in

And spend an hour

In search of skins

When all seems lost

And looking grim

You find a bottle

Of christmas gin

You know you shouldn't do it

But can't see no reason why

So blow your mind

The rest is blank

And that's the worst

An empty head

For an empty purse

You had a laugh

Or so you think

But in the morning

You just stink

You know you shouldn't do it

But can't see no reason why

So blow your mind

So you fancy a drink

It's just the one

To clear your head

We won't be long
