lyrics

Beer just one

He had a beer, but just one
He’s got no money, it’s fuckin’ gone
He scared a kid, he killed a swan
But in his head, he’s Solomon

Greavsie steals corned beef from grocery
He speaks the truth when he’s stoned, he
Swigs by the bins on the phone, he
Picked up to pretend he’s not lonely

He had a beer, but just one
In 92, he’s having fun
He took some drugs, he smoked a ton
He lost a job, he bought a gun

Greavsie got removed from uni
Socialist real ale and soon, he
Found squats in a place that was roomy
Did skunk by the light of the moony

His, is a tale of sorrow
He does not believe in tomorrow
He steals on a ship in the cargo
hold, Ends up a corpse El Dorado

Greavsie steals corned beef from grocery
He speaks the truth when he’s stoned
Greavsie got removed from uni
Socialist real ale and soon

SHOTGUN MARMALADE: High-energy, rhythmic, dark pop-punk songs payed either as a power trio or solo on an acoustic guitar with plenty of clicks, chops and skanks. Lyrics are humorous, ebullient, ironic and often cryptic, dealing with the darker side of life, usually with foot-stomping accompaniment and an opportunity to ska-pogo for those who so wish. We don't take ourselves too seriously!!. ... more
