The Kinks - Alcohol lyrics

[The Kinks - Alcohol lyrics]

Now I wanna tell you a little story
About the old demon alcohol
Yes indeed my little chickadee

Here is a story about a sinner
He used to be a winner
Who enjoyed a life of prominence and position
But the pressures at the office
And his socialite engagements
And his selfish wife's fanatical ambition

It turned him to the booze
And he got mixed up with a floosie
And she led him to a life of indecision
The floosie made him spend his dough
She left him lying on Skid Row
A drunken lag in some Salvation Army Mission
It's such a shame

Oh demon alcohol sad memories I can't recall
Who thought I would say


Damn it all and blow it all

Oh demon alcohol memories I can't recall
Who thought I would fall
A slave to demon alcohol

Sad memories I can't recall
Who thought I would fall
A slave to demon alcohol

Barley wine, pink gin he'll drink anything
Port, pernod or tequila
Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks
As long as all his troubles disappeared

But he messed up his life when
He beat up his wife
And the floosie's gone and
Found another sucker
She's gonna turn him on to drink
She's gonna lead him to the brink
And when his money's gone
She'll leave him in the gutter
It's such a shame

Oh demon alcohol sad memories I can't recall
Who thought I would fall
Damn it all, low, low


Sad memories I can't recall
Who thought I would fall
A slave to demon alcohol
