Another Drinkin' Song
Drowning in Spirits: The Bosstones' Anthem of Redemption
Lyrics
Gonna dive into a jive
Gearing up to engage in a lively activity or atmosphere
I've dove into before
Preparing to enter a situation or experience previously encountered
Gonna haunt a haunt I've haunted
Intending to revisit a familiar place or haunt
Like a million times or more
Repeating the act numerous times, possibly excessively
A familiar joint
Describing a well-known establishment or location
Where getting drunk's the only point
Emphasizing that the main purpose is to become inebriated
To frequent this place
Expressing a tendency to frequent this place
With any frequency at all
Even with occasional visits, infrequent attendance
Countin' on a remedy
Reliance on a solution or remedy previously used
I've counted on before
Previously placed trust in this solution
Goin' with a cure that's never failed me
Opting for a solution that has never disappointed in the past
What you call the disease,
Defining the problem as seen by others
I call the remedy
Personally seeing the solution as the key to the problem
What you're callin' the cause,
How others perceive the root issue
I call the cure
Viewing the cause differently and as a solution
Gonna sing a song, a song to you
Intending to perform a familiar song
A song I've sung before
Planning to present a song previously performed
Belt out a ballad that I've belted out
Repeatedly sang this particular type of song
A million times or more
Emphasizing the frequency of singing this type of song
The words I'm gonna scream
The lyrics to be emphasized while intoxicated
And getting drunk's the central theme
Highlighting alcohol's influence on the song's content
to the lyrics, if you can
Acknowledging the difficulty in understanding the lyrics
Make the lyrics out at all
Difficulty in comprehending the lyrics
Countin' on a remedy
Dependence on a previously effective solution
I've counted on before
Reliance on a trusted remedy
Goin' with a cure that's never failed me
Choosing a consistently reliable solution
What you call the disease,
Public perception of the issue at hand
I call the remedy
Personal belief in the solution's effectiveness
What you're callin' the cause,
Differing perspectives on the cause
I call the cure
Seeing the cause as the remedy
Just a devotion to a potion
Devotion to a particular substance or habit
Please no applause
Requesting no recognition for this devotion
A dedication to a medication
Commitment to a specific medication or solution
A crutch a cure a cause
Describing a reliance on a remedy, acknowledging its dual nature as a crutch and a cure
What I've counted on to pick me up
The remedy previously relied upon has let the individual down
Has knocked me to my knees
Expressing being emotionally defeated by the remedy's failure
Before I hit the floor once more
Before succumbing completely to the issue
I'll call it the disease
Labeling the recurring problem as the disease
