I'd pay a visit almost every day to our little local
hotel
And quite often 'd drink til I fell to me knees
And I'd dribble me sins to meself
But a wowser convinced me, me life would be richer
If I could just give up the booze
I gave in to temptation
T'was money and greed
And the thought of sweet f*ck-all to lose
I went spirallin' downward from that moment on
I shunned friends I'd known all me life
I fell in with the wowsers and-please, God forgive me-
I even played Bingo one night!
Unashamed, unrepentant, me life was so empty
Each mornin' me whole body shook
Like the devil inside me was kickin' me kidneys
Aww, f*ck I was crook!
But I'm a born again piss tank ‘cause I've seen the
light
Of a big neon sigh that spells Pub
Me prayers have been answered, me cup runneth over
As if someone heard from above
Now it feels like and angel's just pissed on me tonsils
Or that horny young barmaid herself
Me life's been made different, I'm a born again piss
tank
And the wowsers can all go to hell
Tormented, demented and right off me rocker
And f*ckin' near right round the twist
A couple of sandwiches short of a picnic
A few shillin's short of a quid
I just dribbled and giggled and stared at the fridge
Rockin' backwards and forwards all day
Til finally snapped and I king-hit the missus
Two demons come took me away
But I'm a born again piss tank ‘cause I've seen the
light
Of a big neon sigh that spells Pub
Me prayers have been answered, me cup runneth over
As if someone heard from above
Now it feels like and angel's just pissed on me tonsils
Or that horny young barmaid herself
Me life's been made different, I'm a born again piss
tank
And the wowsers can all go to hell
Now that's all behind me, that part of me life
It's as if I've emerged from the smog
Now I'm full of the spirit that I cast aside
I'm all right now-praise be to Grog!
Cause I'm back from the depths and I'm back with me
mates
And I'm pleased to say even back with the wife
And God when I think of how I lived through that hell
here on earth-
Worst two funkin' days of me life!
But I'm a born again piss tank cause I've seen the
light
Of a big neon sigh that spells Pub
Me prayers have been answered, me cup runneth over
As if someone heard from above
Now it feels like and angel's just pissed on me tonsils
Or that horny young barmaid herself
Me life's been made different, I'm a born again piss
tank
And the wowsers can all go to hell x2
I've been saved!
I've been saved!
Have-a-lager, I've been saved!
I feel a Fourex comin' on!
Or a Tooheys!
Thank Got for NT Draght!
Or Fosters!
Or an Emu Export!
Or a Swan Lager!
Or a Coopers!
Praise be to Grog!
For Carlton!
I've seen the light-
But you can stick the light up your arse!
