Paul Jeffery featuring guest vocalist Beth Wheatley. Teenage angst song about drinking. The legal age for alcohol consumption is 18 in the UK, so for the US listeners it's post-teenage angst!

DRINKING MY WAY DOWN (C) C Goldsbrough, 23rd July 2002
Got a CD playing
A drink in my hand
But this is no party
I've made my final stand
Made one last try
One play to get you back
Now I sit here and wait
Like a funeral in black
You're too far away
The bottle won't last
So I sit here alone
Lost in the past
The music just keeps going
With songs that remind me of you
I've still not heard
Just give me the word
The drink can't get me through
Outside it's raining
Somehow it seems right
I can't believe you're gone
And I'm giving up the fight
You're too far away
The bottle won't last
So I sit here alone
Lost in the past
The music just keeps going
With songs that remind me of you
I've still not heard
Just give me the word
The drink can't get me through
Now I hid my pain
To prevent you feeling bad
Disguised tears as rain
When you took away all I had
