Music to drink to...lyrics

We are born charming, fresh and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society.

Not only a triple post, but one that has nothing to do with this thread.

WOW, you lose at the internet.

Stop spaming.

I think there should be a song called "you lose at the internet"
Seriously.
That made me laugh myself silly - and I'd listen to it while drinking, too!

Just a couple thoughts,

For me it depends on the scene, but here are a few old standbys

Finnegan's Wake - usually fun if played live, goes for all celtic tunes
For the Dubliners fan - how about The Town I Loved So Well for introspection
Wolfe Tones - spirit of a nation
Jerry Jeff Walker - viva terlingua
Bill Monroe/Doc Watson - for the high lonesome sound
Merle - can be good if feeling wreckless, rebellious or depressed
Dylan - if waxing philosophic
Steely Dan - if in a wise ass mood
Dan Hicks - smooth relaxing stuff
The Dead - my roots, many possible directions

A few off the top

You stand corrected. A Shane MacGowan penned Pogues original.

Social Distortion - "Ball And Chain"

Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way

[Chorus:]
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away
Take away this ball and chain

Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere

[Chorus:]

Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room
I spent all my money
I've been drinkin' since half past noon
Well I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail

[Chorus:]

Buck-O-Nine - "Irish Drinking Song"

well i stumbled in at 2 a.m. all drunk and full of smoke
my wife said i have had enough, im sick, thats it, get out!
so i stumbled down to kellys pub across the edge of town
and i told the boys me story and we had another round

we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
and if i see a pretty girl, ill sleep with her tonight!
we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!

and mary mcgregor, she was a pretty whore
she'd always greet you with a smile and never lock her door
but on the day she died, all the men in town did weep
for mary mcgregor finally got some sleep

we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
and if i see a pretty girl, ill sleep with her tonight!
we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!

well i once loved a girl, a child im told
i gave her my heart and she gave me a cold
so now i sit standing here out in the pouring rain
ill stumble back to kellys pub and cry away me pain

we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!
and if i see a pretty girl, ill sleep with her tonight!
we'll drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink, and drink and fight!

Somebody Like Me by The Ramones

Tired of naggin' nothin's ever happenin'
That's the attitude that isn't fun a bottle of
Wine, a tube of glue I don't know what to do

I am just a guy who likes to rock and roll
I am just a guy who likes to get drunk
I am just a guy who likes to dress punk
Get my kicks and live up my life

Tired of complaints I am ready for fun
But I'll make friends with anyone
Are you out there somebody like me
If you are, I hope that you can see

I am just a guy who likes to rock and roll
I am just a guy who likes to get drunk
I am just a guy who likes to dress punk
Get my kicks and live up my life

Don't go to school don't make me laugh
Can't hardly spell, can't do math
In the bar or out on the street
At the concert at the boutique

After a 12'er of Hopslam, I don't feel like walking 3 blocks to the local and I damn sure can't take this one off of repeat:

Seven Spanish Angels

INTRO: A F#M (x4422) D A

A /A
He looked/ down into her brown eyes, and said
E7
"Say a prayer for me". She
E7
Threw her arms around him, whispered
E7
"God will keep us free".
A
They could hear the riders comin', He said
D
"This is my last fight...If they
A
Take me back to Texas, they won't
E7 A
Take me back a-live.
----------------------------------------
CHORUS A:
A
There were seven Spanish angels, at the
E7
altar of the sun.

They were prayin' for the lovers, in the
A
valley of the gun.

When the /battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
D
there was thunder from the throne,
A E7
And seven spanish angels, took a-nother
A
angel home.
-----------------------------------------

VERSE 2:
A /
She reached down and picked the gun up,
E7
that lay smokin in his hand.

She said, "Father please forgive me;
A
I can't make it without my man."

And she knew the gun was empty,

And she knew she couldn't win,

But her final prayer was answered

When the rifles fired again.
----------------------------------------

CHORUS 2: (1/2 step higher): **REPEAT ONCE
Bflat
(x88766)

There were seven Spanish angels, at the
F7
(x8786x)
altar of the sun.

They were prayin' for the lovers, in the
Bflat (x88766)
valley of the gun.

When the /battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
Cm
(xx5543)
there was thunder from the throne,
Bflat F7 (x8786x)
And seven spanish angels, took a-nother
Bflat (x88766)
angel home.

Heavy Fuel by Dire Straits is good.

Last time is was undrunk
Man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had.

It took 6 hamburgers
Scotch all night,
Nicotine for breakfast Just to put me right.

Why is it that when I type in undrunk (s-o-b-e-r) it gets changed to undrunk?

All for Me Grog

And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
All for me beer and tobacco
Well I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin
Across the western ocean I must wander

Where are me boots, me noggin, noggin boots
they're all gone for beer and tobacco
For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about
And the soles are looking for better weather

And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
All for me beer and tobacco
Well I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin
Across the western ocean I must wander

Where is me shirt me noggin, noggin shirt
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the collar is all worn and the sleeves they are all torn
And the tail is looking for better weather

And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
All for me beer and tobacco
Well I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin
Across the western ocean I must wander

I'm sick in the head and I haven't gone to bed
Since I first came ashore from me slumber
For I spent all me dough on the lassies don't you know
Far across the western ocean I must wander

And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
All for me beer and tobacco
Well I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin
Across the western ocean I must wander

How can you go wrong with a song about spending all your money on sweet sweet booze and some smokes to go with it?

"He said 'I'll love you til I die.'
She told him, 'You'll forget in time.'
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her pictures on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single 'I love you'

I went to see him just today
But I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped lovin' her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped lovin' her today

You know, she came to see him one last time
Lord, we all wondered if she would
And it kept runnin' through my mind
This time, he's over her for good.

He stopped lovin her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped lovin her today." - George Jones, "He Stopped Lovin Her Today"
