Intro

May the Lord have mercy on me since I kicked him in the teeth

I said bye bye sinning days - fare thee well

Could have stopped at number two but there was so much left to do

Does cheating on her send you straight to hell

Phone wakes me up at three, a naked body lies next to me

Who slipped her the mickey - bye bye

Run-up of E--0-2-3

Chorus

Lets all drink them away, we’ll try another day

Don’t know any other way - La la la

As for life number four - wasted in the arms of whores

Farewell to innocence, fare thee well

Smoked my fifth life into black clouds, not a stitch left to be proud of

Bye bye to these five lives, fare thee well

Six little lives, six dirty lives,

talking rubbish and scrapping through the night

Farewell innocence fare thee well

Run-up of E--0-2-3

Chorus

Lets all drink them away, we’ll try another day

Don’t know any other way - La la la

Seventh life making friends with God but he just wouldn’t call me back

Bye bye redemption, fare thee well

Eight lives count down the days, that colossal fall from grace

Back to Pentonville to be alone

One lonely life on its knees cursing all he sees

And praying down the barrel of a gun

Run-up of E--0-2-3

Chorus

Lets all drink them away, we’ll try another day

Don’t know any other way - La la la

Lets all drink them away, we’ll try another day

Don’t know any other way - La la la

End On Em
