WHEN A WHISKEY BUYS A WHISKY
----------------------------
by Craven Fops
Intro. G#m (approx. 8 bars - very loose)
When the wind blows backward, and the rain falls up
Table's full of bottles, no room for a cup
When your flatmates are all dead
And still they wont shut up
G#m G#m G#m B (X2)
Verse 1 G#m G#m G#m B (X4)
G#m G#m
G#m F# G#m G#m
When a whiskey buys a whiskey, If looks could kill
When a whiskey buys a whiskey, When time stands still
When a whiskey buys a whiskey, The damage is exceeding
When a whiskey buys a whiskey, and your eyes are slowly receding
On that long drive home ......
Bridge 1 G#m G#m G#m G#m
Verse 2 G#m G#m G#m B (X4)
G#m F# G#m G#m
When you're busy, you don't resist me
And there is no time for bitching
When you hit me, it's a pity
I don't think I was listening
When you missed me, it was OK, I can take a joke
Now I'll take a walk, don't think I'll join ya
On that long drive home ......
Bridge 2 G#m G#m B B C# C# D#m D#m (X3)
When their lash wounds are thick in blood
winner come behind me
When they thrash, and need a rub
The phone ain't always handy
The phone ain't always handy, Yeah-Yeah
Bridge 1
Verse 3 G#m G#m G#m B (X3)
G#m F# G#m G#m
When a whiskey buys a whiskey, And you can't get out
Of that tunnel, there's only one way out -
That speck of light
When a whiskey means it's good-bye
I cast a cold eye
On that long white line ......
Bridge 2 G#m G#m B B C# C# D#m D#m (X2)
When the night was old and scarred ...: I asked him:
"Hey, Hey, ... What are you doing ?" And he said:
"The people who run this joint have lost all control"
Aaaahhhwwww !! They're out of control !!!

Verse 4 G#m G#m G#m B (X8)
This is a message that was made for you
By the dominant institutions of the world
Do not turn off, Do not flinch
We have your interests at heart - rest assured
That there is no life after government
Despite what you might have been told
There is no life or truth
No truth or beauty at all
Do not flinch ...
Do not raise your eyebrows
You have been warned !
Your obedience has been paid for
By the nations of the world
So cut it off, Cut it off, Cut if off
And ring Mandy !!
