OLD FOOL
(composed by James Delarre)

A song written by James about the dangers of drinking. After a heavy year on the sauce, he became aware that a habit was forming; this song was a result of that year. Be careful of what you become!

lyrics

Drinking's a fix when your down and in bits and
You’ve spent all your money on wine
Gin with a lime and whisky is fine
So you follow the old fool round

If you’ve spent half your time paying down on the fines
Or living it up on the town
Surrounded by signs that you’re life isn’t fine
Well you follow the old fool round

The old fools laughing the old fools fun
The old fool drinks till the day is done
The old fools dancing but he’s on the run
The old fool drinks till the day is done

Your up in the air not getting anywhere, chasing your tail all around
You’ll go anywhere you don’t really care
To follow the old fool round

The old fools laughing the old fools fun
The old fool drinks till the day is done
The old fools dancing but he’s on the run
The old fool drinks till the day is done

If your drinking like me all out on a spree, never taking stock on the way
You open our eyes your life far behind
You are the old fool now

The old fools laughing the old fools fun
The old fool drinks till the day is done
The old fools dancing but he’s on the run
The old fool drinks till the day is done
