lyrics

You don't look like the back of a bus
But you're no beauty queen
I'm not as idiot or an Einstein
I'm just somewhere in between
Let's drink and think of all the things that might have been
Keep pouring in the poison

You wear your boozing wounds like badges
Every cut and bruise and scratch
They all say I can put it away
But in you I've met my match
Get you laughing gear round this my dear
Cheers - down the hatch
Keep pouring in the poison.

Pouring in the poison
You're on wine and I'm on porter
We're two good-for-nothings
Doing what we didn't ought to
I'm old enough to be your Dad
But I wouldn't want you for a daughter
We're two dirty stop-outs
Allergic to work and water

We've been on the sauce since early doors
We should be homeward bound
Our ill-gotten gains gone down the drain
We're down to our last few pounds
This stuff will be the death of us
Let's have another round
Keep pouring in the poison

Pouring in the poison
You're on wine and I'm on porter
We're two good-for-nothings
Doing what we didn't ought to
I'm old enough to be your Dad
But I wouldn't want you for a daughter
We're two dirty stop-outs
Allergic to work and water.

Nigel Burch and the Flea-Pit Orchestra London, UK

'Flea-Pit Music' has been (intoxicating and) invigorating music fans for over a decade. Best described by The Guardian as “a cross between the music of Ian Dury, Brecht and Weil, an Irish pub band and a 1950s skiffle group. Songs of urban alienation with plenty of fierce, spontaneous playing", their original sound is personified by the dark social commentary of Burch's lyrics and vocals. ... more
