I’m learning to see with my eyes open
I’m learning to hear with my mouth shut
With my mouth shut
Oh baby, you and me we’re a work in progress, oh yes
So can you work on your worst to get to your best?
Get up, go face-to-face with yourself
Hold on, you’re fine, the hard times are part of the process
Of working the progress
The fear is gonna get you, when you least expect to
Fall back in those decadent ways
Out on the straight and narrow, here comes a poison arrow
And I said I wasn’t drinking today
Now I got whisky in my Ovaltine
Coffee with a shot of Puccine
It’s breakfast in a glass, they say I got no class
But it’s working if you know what I mean
(chorus)
Crawling from the wreck of another early death
I was thinking there is no other kind
But we were getting nowhere, pretending we could get there
With just a little change of the mind
Now I’m leaning on the bottle again
Mixing up my whisky and gin
I’m barely getting over the pain of being sober
It’s time to get another one in
(chorus)
Spirit sorely lacking, I fall back on the wagon
Back to waiting tables at nine
The boss’ll be in later, I found a shot of Jager
And another half-bottle of wine
Now there’s whisky in my Ovaltine
Coffee with a shot of Puccine
Breakfast in a glass, they say I got no class
But it’s working if you know what I mean
(chorus)

I loved some of these first time around, some I was less enamoured with, but this is a great collection and some I was less then enamoured about are now transformed for example Thunderfuck and Bang! Tom take the money is as glorious as ever. Andy Castledine

Damn, thought this series would just be acoustic versions maybe w a few changes - but hot damn, it's proven so much more!!! Well worth buying into for sure (but when does Ginger do anything that isn't?) Love it. jack gibbins
