Now I've seen the bottom of another glass
I should have seen it coming from the back of the glass
My liver it waves a white flag of defeat
But even my intestines beat a hazy retreat
I'm telling you now I won't be beat
For a drop of demon alcohol that tastes so sweet
You don't have to listen to Swordfishtrombone or talk to God on a big white phone
But it helps
God knows it helps
And you don't have to listen to the World By Storm
And the glassy eyed expression doesn't have to be worn
Now I was never one to dramatise
But when you fall over and you black both your eyes
And when you're fit to argue and fight the cause
Like two bluebottles scaling the wall
When you manage to stand up to expect applause
And when you're head's too cloudy to take off your clothes
You don't have to listen to Swordfishtrombone or talk to God on a big white phone
But it helps
God knows it helps
Well you don't have to listen to the World By Storm
And the glassy eyed expression doesn't have to be worn
You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think
You can lead me to water but you can't make me drink
Slide me a drop of old gin or old wine
And if you've got the inclination then I've got the time
Just take one more step, too old that store
Me at the bar and thee at the floor
You don't have to listen to Swordfishtrombone or talk to God on a big white phone
But it helps
God knows it helps
And you don't have to listen to the World By Storm
And the glassy eyed expression doesn't have to be worn
But it helps
God knows it helps
Yes it helps
