Teemu Linnanheimo 2121: Lynchburg Gin


Times they get so hard
and money's getting scarce
when all it is you want
from liquor store to a restaurant
Now I went down to town
to drink enough to drown
and then I get another round

I went down to town
to drink until I drown
and then I get another round

I have to have some more
because my heart is sore
I get me jug of gin
so I can imagine
the day she took her life
no one walked by her side
no one to sooth her cries

So I went down to town
to drink until I drown
I get me a jug of gin
so another day begins

When love is all you want
with money it can't be bought
Such a lonely night it's been
this must have been like in Berlin
These times have been so strange
we're ready to choose our saint
cause Bowie's on sale again

I went down to town
to drink enough to drown
I get me a jug of gin
so another day begins

A bottle of gin makes a real good talker
Now look at yourself, you're a real good talker
Now look at yourself again

Times they get so hard
and money's getting scarce
when all it is you want
from liquor store to a restaurant
Now I went down to town
to drink enough to drown
and then I get another round

I went down to town,
to drink until I drown
I get me a jug of gin
so another day begins

My number one sin is to get too drunk
number two sin is to get too loud
number three is to sleep next to you
and number four sin is too
