Thinking about drinking

Oct 15, 2004

There’s some trouble I’ve been having

I can’t spell Bunnahabbhain

And I keep saying GlenmorANGIE, which is wrong.

It’s GlenMORangie I know

But my brain is running slow

I’ve been thinking about drinking far too long.

I’ve drunk Talisker in New Orleans

And Jack Daniels in Skye

I’ve mixed my Glenfiddich with Irn Bru

I’ve had pakora sauce with Jura

And Coke with my Laphroaig

American Cream Soda with Tamdhu.

It’s time to pour a glass or two

And let the liquid say what’s true

I’ve been thinking about drinking far too long

I met a man in Florida

Who swore me to secrecy

And gave me what he said was pure moonshine

It gave me double vision

Which was just as well for me

Three other folk who drank it all went blind.

CHORUS

I’ve used Macallan in a motorbike

To make the engine run

And I’ve cauterised a cut with

Aberlour

I’ve used Scapa as an aftershave

Cleaned windows with Famous Grouse

And stripped off ancient varnish with some Powers

CHORUS

Hi Paul – Just dipping my toe in the water, so to speak. But yes, I hope there will be another couple of albums at least. By all means send OOTH to Beeb Aberdeen and I promise to return it suitably adorned…

Hi Tom, tried to post a comment yesterday but it didn’t show up. Don’t know if it should so forgive me if this comes through twice. Anyway, as always I enjoy the show. Is this song cycle a precurser of another album? I saw that the harbours album is going for biggish bucks, can I send my copt to you for an autograph? Might push the price up. Anyway, I’ll wait and see if this comment appears anywhere. keep up the good work and try to find some time for Michael Hurley on the show.

Hi Tom, Thought I could be the first to comment here. Totally new to this “blogging” but gave it a try. Are these lyrics a forerunner to a new album. I noted that the Harbour album is gaining big bucks at auction. Can I send my copy to you for an autograph? Anyway, as always I enjoy the show. Keep on trucking, as they used to say.
