July Morning

 

Was an early July morning

Sat down by the lake

Tried to supersede a whole lot of mistakes

If our eyes looked smart, we succeeded our fake

 

Small trout were jumping

Broke the waterline

Got a plastic bag of Amstel next to mine

I said " girl smell Mother Nature, ain't she fine ”?

 

Was an early July morning I lost you

By the sea in gentle breeze, the sky was blue

When I smashed my 7th bottle

You said, " I’m leaving you "

 

1 - 2 - fuck you

God bless your heart of gold

Keep your complete control

A perfect way of growing old

And don’t forget tomorrow

3 - 4 - drugstore

Help you through your big I.D.

Better love than honey E.

It keeps you from insanity

And settles down the sorrow

 

Was another July morning

I felt sick and slow

Killed some time by counting busses to and fro

Wanted to leave but I didn’t have anywhere to go

 

Then a bright light in the shadow

An old man said " my son

My left front pocket’s worth £700

 And I don’t want to drink them all alone"

 

Was another July morning close to heaven

I saved some booze and bread

In a dirty lane

I smashed a stone against his head

 

If you find me drowned in liquor

Down beside The Golden Vodka Gate

Hey, don't blame yourself

It was my self-made final fate
