Just the One - The Levellers

So you fancy a drink, just the one,

To clear your head, it won’t be long,

It’s a beautiful day to waste away,

There’s plenty of time for another one.

You know you shouldn’t do it But can’t see no reason why,

So you blow your mind yeah yeah ah ha.

Make mine a short, I’m getting there

But where is it i couldn’t care

There must be something I haven’t tried

Perhaps that bottle before my eyes.

Through the haze the sun goes down

It’s getting late, let’s hit the town

Call some friends to paint it red

Feed the animal in your head.

They throw you out, you hit the night

Go to a club, you feel all right

You get a pill, just take half

Then take the rest of it for a laugh.

The rest is blank and that’s the worst

An empty head for an empty purse

You had a laugh or so you think

But in the morning you just stink.

You know you shouldn’t do it But can’t see no reason why,

So you blow your mid yeah yeah ah ha.

So you fancy a drink, it’s just the one

To clear your head, it won’t be long.
