F Doing E, doing speed, doing cocaine G Mix it with alcohol and go insane F In the morning the edge of the knife G Where the hell is the bright side of life? F It's a farcical high for a few hours G Then you're blind and you can't see the bright flowers F For the light of a child and the glee G If you splurge then I'll know you'll agree F Turns you into a shell of what you used to be G All the weeks you been living in a fantasy F For the size of the party to come G Day to day life just doesn't seem fun F I'm not telling you how to do your thing G I'm just laying down some facts about indulging F How the shit going 'round can become G F G F G Your controller, your dictator, your one C F G I'm giving it up I swear in the New Year.. C F G No more of that for me, you'll see... C F G I'm going to be going straight I can't wait C F G Until this year is gone, party on.. F Coming down on the ground in a small house G You're a man but you feel like a small mouse F Not so long ago you felt like a king G Someone give my psychiatrist a ring F Ive no bread and feel feckin' brain-dead G All alone in a room full of E-heads F Feel so hollow and sickly and worthless G There's no cure in the mosques's or the churches F I met strangers who barely six hours ago G Were the best friends I thought I'd ever know F Now they're strangers again 'cos I'm down G And I won't say 'hello' if I see them in town (chorus to fade)
