The Beautiful South - Look What I Found In My Beer lyrics

(Heaton/Rotheray)

Look what I found in my beer

A couple of dancing ladies and a ticket out of here

Look what I found in my beer

A start to being lonely and an end to my career

Look what he found in his gin

Lights' looking lively when love's looking dim

Look what he found in his gin

Souls look heavy when personality's thin

Look what I found in the drum

A lifelong beat and a replacement to the rum

Look what I found in the guitar

Another fellow thinker and a chauffeur to my heart

Look what I found in the mic

An end to screwed-up drinking and a Paul I actually like

Look what I found in my beer

A free test drive for a heart I cannot steer

Look what I found in my beer

Look what I found in my drink

A brain without a plughole and a sink without a think

Look what I found in my drink

A "love you" to the barmaid and a too-familiar wink

Look what we found in his booze

The reflection of him and his children without shoes

Look what we found in his booze

This mornings jigsaw in a hill of last nights clues

Look what I found in the drum

A lifelong beat and a replacement to the rum

Look what I found in the guitar

Another fellow thinker and a chauffeur to my heart

Look what I found in the mic

An end to screwed-up drinking and a Paul I actually like

Look what I found in my beer

A free test drive for a heart I cannot steer

Look what I found in my beer

Look what we found in the dance

Look what I've found in the song

Low expectations in a large pile of cans

It makes the drink seem weak,

the friendship strong
