A Bit More Better Productions

Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.

I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend, not this wont to cant.

Takes me back to when we were both 19
Sharing cans, hopes and dreams
I think we both knew of the misery
The night had in store
So we drank some more

Way back then.
And I am here now, just the way I was.

Oh the fairground, strangeness in the air
Drank enough for three while we were there.
Didnt so much as say that we were scared
Later on that evening we’d been running out of words
We’d have been thrown out if we hadnt have heard
The news that the worst had been confirmed

Brings me straight back to the present time
More to bear at 25.
All I could say was you got the damnedest luck
He closed his eyes, and so I closed mine.

Way back then.
And I am here now, just the way I was.
