Celebrating Life's Ugly Beauty with Dave Hause's Doublewhiskeycokenoice
Lyrics
Sometimes it's simple things that make it hard
Sometimes, simple things can be challenging.
Spoiled baby T's with credit cards
People with privileged backgrounds and credit cards create difficulties.
Overtime always on my mind
Thinking about work beyond regular hours.
Could have been's eat away in side now
Regret over missed opportunities affects from within.
Praise God and pass the bottle of Beam
Expressing gratitude and passing a bottle of Beam whiskey.
Because tonight I can't seem to say what I mean
Difficulty in expressing true feelings tonight.
Don't know if I would even if I could, Amen
Uncertainty about expressing even if possible, with a reference to "Amen."
Somehow this seems like borrowed time
Feeling like living on borrowed time.
Pay it no mind, everything is fine
Ignoring problems, pretending everything is fine.
But sometimes I'd rather hear laughter while this whole place died
Preferring laughter over the demise of the surroundings.
A johnny jump-up is a lovely thing
Describing a joyful drink named "johnny jump-up."
A pint of cider and some whiskey
Enjoying a mix of cider and whiskey.
I had four dead inside of me
Having consumed alcohol to endure a singer's performance.
Just to hear this jackass sing his line about
Reflecting on the singer's lyrics about the past.
How he used to hang out somewhere ""back in the day""
Mocking someone reminiscing about the "back in the day" with questionable terms.
Knowing terms only that an asshole would say
Criticizing terms used by someone unpleasant.
So I sat there drinking more
Continuing to drink while contemplating more drinking.
Thinking about drinking more
Thoughts focused on consuming more alcohol.
Nelson Algren came to me
Reference to Nelson Algren advising to celebrate imperfections.
And said celebrate the ugly things
Encouraging appreciation for the battered side of pride.
The beat up side of what they call pride
Suggesting that the worn-out side could define the present era.
could be the measure of these days
God save Otis Redding because I know he's never gone
Pleading for the preservation of Otis Redding's legacy.
As sick falls from this mouth hear me sing it wrong
Expressing a distorted, sick sound while singing.
Is it ""cigarettes and coffee"" now or Dreams to be Remembered
Questioning whether it's about "cigarettes and coffee" or "Dreams to be Remembered."
I'll leave regrets for dead and sing along
Choosing to leave regrets behind and sing along.
So I'm reaching for the phone I don't want to be alone
Seeking companionship by reaching for the phone.
I want to get some friends here tonight
Desiring the presence of friends for the night.
I got a basement full of booze and some blues to lose
Owning a collection of alcohol in the basement, ready to forget the blues.
I'll ignore the whole world tonight
Choosing to ignore the world's problems for the night.
It will be alright
Expressing optimism that everything will be alright.
