well - it's just gone 4AM, looked at my rapidly diminishing supply of booze and thought.....

Last Mouthful.

There's a mouthful left at the bottom of the bottle,
But it won't be there much longer,
And with every single sip I take,
the addiction grows so much stronger,
It's 4AM and I can't close my eyes,
Could I be any more wrong, yeah?

Well the bottle's been my friend a long time,
Through the good times and the bad,
And I'd hate to know how much I've spent,
Over the years, I'd go mad,
But I'd give my last penny right now for a drink,
To stop me from feeling sad.

Sometimes it makes me feel so good,
So loud and proud and jolly,
But when the drink's all gone and I'm home alone,
And I feel so melancholy,
When I'm drinking I feel so goddam good,
And I just can't see my folly....

There's a mouthful left at the bottom of the bottle,
But it won't be there much longer,
And with every single sip I take,
the addiction grows so much stronger,
It's 4AM and I can't close my eyes,
Could I be any more wrong, yeah?

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

Sometimes it makes me feel so good,
So loud and proud and jolly, >>>I kinda stumbled here>>> :idea: I talk to loud enjoy the crowed
But when the drink's all gone and I'm home alone,
I feel the blues coming over me
And I feel so melancholy,
When I'm drinking I feel so goddam good, >>>I think I would change drinking to sipping from the bottle
And I just can't see my folly....
