God Loves A Drunk |
Will there be any bartenders up there in heaven? |
Will the pubs never close? |
Will the glass never drain? |
No more DTs and no shakes and no horrors |
The very next morning, you feel right as rain |
'Cause God loves a drunk, lowest of men |
Like the dogs in the street and the pigs in the pen |
But a drunk’s only trying to get free of his body |
And soar like an eagle high up there in heaven |
His shouts and his curses they are just hymns and praises |
To kick-start his mind now and then |
O God loves a drunk, come raise up your glasses, amen |
Does God really care for your life in the suburbs? |
Your dull little life full of dull little things |
And bring up the babies to be just like daddy |
And maybe I’ll be there when he gives out the wings |
But God loves a drunk, although he’s a fool |
Oh he wets in his pants and he falls off his stool |
And he can’t hear the insults, and whispers go by him |
As he leans in the doorway and he sings sally racket |
He can’t feel the cold rain beat down on his body |
And soak through his clothes to the skin |
O God loves a drunk, come raise up your glasses, amen |
Will there be any pen-pushers up there in heaven? |
Does crawling and wage-slaving win you God’s love? |
I pity you worms with your semis and pensions |
If you think that’ll get you to the kingdom above |
Oh God loves a drunk, although he’s a clown |
Oh you can’t help but laugh as he gags and falls down |
But he don’t give a curse for what people think of him |
He screams at his demons alone in the darkness |
He’s staying alive for just one more pint bottle |
Won’t you throw him a few pennies, friend? |
Ah God loves a drunk, for ever and ever, amen |
