Lyrics
Alcohol doesn't always make me mellow
Sometimes I'm told I start to shout and bellow
I can get a little raucous and rambunctious from time to time
Don't you know it's your love that makes me crazy
One look at your lips and your lobes and it's all hazy
I'd be drunk and never have to drink a droplet if you were mine
I want to push out to sea in the moonlight
and lose these London blues
There's a pea green boat on the water
tonight I leave with you
and wear those shoes, those camel shoes
they turn me on
The departure lounge is a cattle truck of boredom
A thousand besuited beast of burden
Bearing down with cellphones and laptops and money to spend
Across the bar there's a sudden sense of freedom
Problems follow but faster we will flee them
Real life and rain clouds are never gonna touch us again
We'll sail this bark around the land of fire
On southern shores we'll consummate desire
We'll search the coast until we find the land where the bongtree grows
and I don't care what your clairvoyants have told you
or if that pig of experience cajoles you
I'll take you down to Chile and I'll wed you with a ring from its nose
