about

Taken from the album Summat's Brewin'

lyrics

Had me first drink on my daddy’s knee
Rock a bye baby, takes bottle gladly
Newcastle Brown, I fell in love at three

Helping my mum put shopping away
Top shelf for Bisto, dark corners for whiskey
Babycham kiss if I looked away

It’s not clever, it’s not hard, but I did it

From teens to twenties, he held my hand
Confidence, camouflage, courage
Drowning the tomboy, the bits you can’t stand

Three cans a night as I sat by her side
More when she died, my safe place to hide
Like mother, like daughter I now realise
It’s not clever, it’s not hard, it’s within me

A glass raised in celebration
Hides the sweetest lamentation
The briefest eclipse of inebriation
A passenger amidst the congregation
Patiently scans the stumbling and the slurred
’Til with a wink of recognition
Hand held in his, you are returned

Toasting the triumphs, blotting the blues
Everyday a different excuse
You only live once, ain’t that the truth
