by Craven Fops 
 
 
 
Intro.  G#m     (approx. 8 bars - very loose) 
 
 
        When the wind blows backward, and the rain falls up 
        Table's full of bottles, no room for a cup 
        When your flatmates are all dead 
        And still they wont shut up 
 
 
                G#m     G#m     G#m     B       (X2) 
 
 
 
Verse 1 G#m     G#m     G#m     B       (X4)

        When a whiskey buys a whiskey, If looks could kill 
        When a whiskey buys a whiskey, When time stands still 
        When a whiskey buys a whiskey, The damage is exceeding 
        When a whiskey buys a whiskey, and your eyes are slowly receding 
        On that long drive home ......

        When you're busy, you don't resist me 
        And there is no time for bitching 
        When you hit me, it's a pity 
        I don't think I was listening 
        When you missed me, it was OK, I can take a joke 
        Now I'll take a walk, don't think I'll join ya 
        On that long drive home ......

        When their lash wounds are thick in blood 
        winner come behind me 
        When they thrash, and need a rub 
        The phone ain't always handy 
        The phone ain't always handy,  Yeah-Yeah

        When a whiskey buys a whiskey,  And you can't get out 
        Of that tunnel,  there's only one way out -  
        That speck of light 
        When a whiskey means it's good-bye 
        I cast a cold eye 
        On that long white line ......

        When the night was old and scarred ...:  I asked him: 
        "Hey, Hey, ... What are you doing ?"  And he said: 
        "The people who run this joint have lost all control" 
        Aaaahhhwwww !!   They're out of control  !!!

        This is a message that was made for you 
        By the dominant institutions of the world 
        Do not turn off, Do not flinch 
        We have your interests at heart - rest assured 
        That there is no life after government 
        Despite what you might have been told 
        There is no life or truth 
        No truth or beauty at all 
        Do not flinch ... 
        Do not raise your eyebrows 
        You have been warned ! 
        Your obedience has been paid for 
        By the nations of the world 
        So cut it off,  Cut it off,  Cut if off 
        And ring Mandy !!
