lyrics

The weather's all gone funny, water's on the rise

They said that this would happen but we didn't realise

That the flowers would wilt and die

Before our very eyes

And the words we quoted only seem to over-emphasis

That the world's gone down the toilet

We flushed it round the bend

The era that we thought we knew is coming to an end

But before the last bell toll upon us

Listen up my friends

We have but little time before us and so much to mend so..


Weep in your beer with me my friends

Weep in your beer with me

The world is full of things that I'd rather forget

Got my eyes set on the glory but I ain't seen it yet

So weep in your beer, weep in your beer

Weep in your beer with me

Laugh and be content with the court summonses and rent

And wee in your beer with me


But if I had my time back over, it wouldn't be like that, it'd be like this

I'd be looking down over happy days all overcome with bliss

And I'd dance a merry tango through the situations there

Instead of terminating everything that made us what we dare to be and

Flushed it down the toilet, send it round the bend

The misery I've caused for you is never going to end

But before the last boat leaves

Listen up my friends

We have but little time before us and so much to mend so

Weep in your beer with me my friends...

about

Julian Gaskell image

Julian Gaskell UK

Described by angry locals as the bastard son of Waits, Strummer, Reinhardt and Rachmaninov, Julian Gaskell’s music over the last 20 years has followed a wayward path of withering agricultural-folk, klezmer accordion, overly-lyrical punk, gypsy-jazz guitar, tangos, waltzes, rhumbas and skiffled-up boogie-woogie piano. ... more
