Vintage Whine |
I’ll play Bacchus for the evening |
Pray, be seated, take your places |
Should my manner seem displeasing |
Offend your airs and graces |
I’ve a list long as your arm |
The connoisseur’s selection |
Such bitter whines, a quaff of qualms |
Awaiting your inspection |
The bubbles burst, this ain’t «sham-pain» |
I’ve watched hopes wither on the vine |
The fruits of labour’s toil in vain |
I reap soul grapes at harvest time |
Anno 1999: a classic year for vintage whine! |
Since it’s drawn I must sup the cellarage of sorrow |
Yet fate refills my tarnished cup each time I drain the dregs |
Their poison cannot kill me, new strength from it I’ll borrow |
My maudlin is a caudle that would fill a thousand kegs |
Here’s one for the road, afore ye go |
Drink deep, sweet lads and lasses |
Those blighted crops you gladly sow |
Shall one day fill your glasses |
Brood for decades, pure hate distilled |
Then bottled up much longer |
Revenge, a draught I’ll serve you chilled |
When time has made it stronger |
Non-cordial, it’s bile bouquet |
Laments ferment, the patience «schnapps» |
Cask full of mulled futile dismay |
My well-aged rage, you’ve turned the taps |
Anno 1999: a classic year for vintage whine! |
Since it’s drawn I must sup the cellarage of sorrow |
Yet fate refills my tarnished cup each time I drain the dregs |
Their poison cannot kill me, new strength from it I’ll borrow |
My maudlin is a caudle that would fill a thousand kegs |
Anno 1999: a classic year for vintage whine! |
