about
Written one morning after seeing You Am I tour their Dilettantes album in Castlemaine, late 2008. Came out in a couple of hours, words and all, after completely changing the vocal melody a couple of times. Definetly worth wagging work for. Pete
lyrics
MAKE MINE A DOUBLE
She’s got a fever caught inside
From her rosaries to her skirt that rides
When the wind blew hard she just shook and fell
She drank from the well
Hey, I don’t blame her, begrudge her neither
You know I’m always just so happy to see her
But let it be known, I wouldn’t wanna be ya
When she comes around
Make mine a double, nothin’s worth all this trouble
Never wanted to hear you say, “when it’s my shout, who’ll pay”
He’s insipid, he’s not kind
The sort of person who’d dig a hole to hide in
Don’t take him home, nor bathe or dress his wounds
He’ll rob all the moon
Hey, I don’t blame ya for wanting to score
There’s people dumber in life with so much more
But placing Nurse, Mother, and playing a Whore
Won’t win you awards
Make mine a double, nothin’s worth all this trouble
Never wanted to hear you say, “when it’s my shout, who’ll pay”
Please forgive me my desert mind
I could drain you all a thousand times
But you can’t lead the lame or crooked kind
To the water blind
Make mine a double, nothin’s worth all this trouble
Never wanted to hear you say, “when it’s my shout, who’ll pay”
When it’s my shout, who’ll pay?
When it’s my shout, who’ll pay?
