Alcoholism, Song Lyrics
Alcoholism
Fool, If You Think it’s Over - Chris Rea
Cravings for alcohol, in this continual fall, keep you crawlin’ through your life...
Alcoholism
Alcoholism
Losin’ game, you’re snagged again
No escape, and no one wins
Eyes stare off track,
Red, and sunken back
Those savage blues,
you drown in booze
Cravings for alcohol, in this continual fall
Keep you crawlin’ through your life
Friend, if you think its over,
and it’s time to die
Friend, if you think its over,
you’re trustin’ lies
You need some tough intervention
You can’t keep those monster-cravings back
Don’t be fooled by the Lyin’ Charmer
Reverse attack
Intervention is your weaponry
Stop playing dead while you’re still alive
You’re not yet lost, but higher runs the cost
As loved ones cry, and young hearts die
Friend, if you think its over,
and it’s time to die
Friend, if you think its over,
you’re trustin’ lies
No one can force your hands
or declare their demands
Stop you crawlin’ back each night
to drown your pain
But your loved ones will keep payin’
As they shake you while sayin’...
Friend, if you think its over,
and it’s time to die
Friend, if you think its over,
you‘re trustin’ lies
You need some tough intervention
You can’t keep those monster-cravings back
Don’t be be fooled by the Lyin’ Charmer
Reverse attack
You need some tough intervention
You can’t keep those monster-cravings back
Don’t be fooled by the Lyin’ Charmer
Reverse attack, yea
No one can force your hands
Or declare their demands
Stop you crawlin’ back each night
To drown your pain

Just curious, Tamara - You do such a good job writing lyrics for other songs. Have you ever written your own songs? Just wondering.

Very true. It hurts the loved ones to watch someone doing this to himself.
It is a hard habit to break, but a much better life when one does.

Thank you, Hari. For those who cannot moderate it, intervention is needed.

This was a creative approach to spreading this message. Many people struggle with alcoholism and this lets them know they are not alone.
Really good poetry.
Alcohol is the cause of all the social problems and it's should be moderated by the taker for it weakens the determination.
