Whiskey in the Blood

(The Blue Hearts: Album Dark Side Of Town)
It’s just a loving spoonful …………..to whet your appetite
When you need a feeling to get you reeling out into the night
You’ve got tomorrow to catch up on your sorrow
Hear it for the here and now
Get it loaded up somebody and get me there somehow
On a mission of permission darling, a wave at the height of the flood
I’m teaching my lover to try and discover some whisky in the blood



A little goes a long, long way………until it’s out of sight
You get the strangest feeling that you might get there tonight
When you’ve got forever to get to never never (land)
And pay the man today
Get on the burning bush my brother get on your knees and pray
And watch the mighty all fall down, down with a sickening thud
I’m teaching my lover to try and uncover with whisky in the blood



You had did all the daring …….until you didn’t dare to do
Wandering so aimlessly just looking for a clue
Well everything happened here at dawn
Andyou arrived at dusk
You had no chance to set in stone the dreams you turned to dust
Once you had passion to struggle free,
Now you’re just stuck in the mud
I’m teaching my lover to try and recover from whisky in the blood
