about

Written 1988 and demoed as potentially paert of the album that became Surplus and Dearth. Because it and Was It Any Better Then, recorded the same time were more country, I decided to put them aside for a separate country project.

lyrics

BEER

I HAVE TRAVELLED ALL AROUND THIS DUSTY DIRTY LAND
I HAVE PLAYED IN PITS WHERE FLEAS WOULD NOT DEIGN TO LAND
I HAVE BACKED THE STRIPTEASE BELLES WITH AN OUT OF TUNE ROCK BAND
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING KEEPS ME GOIN ONE THING I UNDERSTAND
AND IT'S : BEER BEER BEER BEER MOST EVERY NIGHT
NOT A NICE WELL ROUNDED RED AND NOT A CRISPY WHITE
BUT A TANKARD OF THE FROTHY BREW THAT'S A WORKIN MAN'S DELIGHT
BEER BEER BEER BEER AND BEER

WELL SOUTHERN BOYS DRINK BOURBON AND IVAN MASHED POTATE
I'VE TRIED EM I'VE IMBIBED 'EM BUT I HATE TO DEVIATE
FROM THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH IMPLIED BY THOSE WORDS I LONG TO HEAR
BEER BEER BEER BEER BEER

AND IT'S : BEER BEER BEER BEER MOST EVERY NIGHT
NOT A NICE WELL ROUNDED RED AND NOT A CRISPY WHITE
BUT A TANKARD OF THE FROTHY BREW THAT'S A WORKIN MAN'S DELIGHT
BEER BEER BEER BEER AND BEER

WELL LEARNED EUROPEAN DRINKERS SWEAR BY ALMANAC
THE DANISH AKA-VIT AND THE ARABS SWEET ARAK
IN IRAQ IF YOU DRINK AT ALL IT'S THE AUTOMATIC SACK
BUT THERE'S MORE THAN ONE HAS RISKED THE GUN TO CRACK A COLD SIX-PACK
AND IT'S : BEER BEER BEER BEER MOST EVERY NIGHT
NOT A NICE WELL ROUNDED RED AND NOT A CRISPY WHITE
BUT A TANKARD OF THE FROTHY BREW THAT'S A WORKIN MAN'S DELIGHT
BEER BEER BEER BEER AND BEER
