Folks, you've made it to the end of the album, in spite of the fact I did make no effort to make your listening experience comfortable. I tip my hat to you.

Now, I'd hate to leave you in a total low down bummer. So this last song is trying to be a bit uplifting while staying coherent with the rest of the album.

Cheers and thank you for your time.

lyrics

I’ve been up & down. Well, more often down than up
And I had my share of dreams though most of them didn’t work
And if I’ve learned one thing don’t rely on material things
They flow like water through yur fingers before you can think
You believe you’ve earned yourself a place in this world thanks to hard work and pluck
Till some bloke from the bank or the taxes comes and says “buddy, you’re fucked”
And you’re left stranded, but it’s not the worst part of it yet
Watch your friends as they run like rats leave a sinking ship

For I had one friend and his name was whiskey
And its warmth within me
Never let me down down down

Love is pleasing, takes you high on its fluffy wings
Then drops you five miles high and watches you with a grin
The very reasons why a lover will find you adorable at the start
Will be the reason why they’ll deject you and will tear you apart
Enjoy the sweet while it lasts, before the sour comes to pass
Cause love will say byebye, leaving you high and dry

But I had one love and his name was whiskey
I had one love and its warmth within me
Never let me down down down

You can put your trust in the golden spirit of the glen
The only one I knew that remained true to any bitter end
Who will be stand by you, help you pulling through when the cap it spins
When every friend betrays and every lover leaves when the thick becomes thin

I have no head for wine, it fucks too much with my mind
Beer is OK you know but today I won’t take it slow

Bring me my friend whose name is whiskey
Bring me my friend for he never failed me
