TOO MUCH TO DRINK

from VOID [Digitally Remastered] by The Santairs

/

about

My friend Sean Crain and I wrote this song together. I think he wrote most of the music while I took most of the lyrics. We wanted to write a faster rock and roll tune and this is what we came up with. I edited and reworked the words before this recording so that the story still made some sense but wasn't totally in your face and still had the character of the story not be very sympathetic, which was what I was going for.

This is song #422.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

I WALKED INTO A BAR, WANTING TO GO FAR.
I PAID THE PRICE OF LUST AND SIN.
I WENT UP TO HER PLACE, SHAMED HER IN DISGRACE.
CAN YOU REALLY KNOW WHERE WE'VE BEEN?

WE TALKED A LITTLE MORE, SOMEWHERE HALF PAST FOUR.
I JUST WANTED LOVE AND COMPANY.
I TRIED TO HOLD HER TIGHT IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT.
SHE TRIED TO COVER UP FROM ME.

SHE WAS A LITTLE CHILD. I WAS A LITTLE WILD.
I HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK, I THINK.

I WAS TWENTY-FOUR. SHE WAS BUT A SCORE.
NO MORE THAN THE LEGAL AGE OF YEARS.
I'VE BEEN UP AND DOWN, ALL AROUND THIS TOWN,
LIVING CHILDHOOD OF TEARS.
(SOLO)
I TIRED TO TELL HER HEY, IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
LIFE IS JUST ALIKE A GAME.
WITH MANY DIFFERENT FACES AT MANY DIFFERENT PLACES,
PEOPLE WITHOUT A NAME.

SHE WAS A LITTLE CHILD. I WAS A LITTLE WILD.
I HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK, I STINK.

I SAID TO HER, "GOOD-BYE. WIPE AWAY YOUR CRIES.
LOVE GETS IN THE WAY OF LUST."
I THOUGHT SHE WAS A BORE, BUT I THINK THAT NO MORE,
GIVING HER ALL OF MY THRUST.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
