The pipe takes me to heaven
Em
The pint puts me in jail

So I'll stick with the Vimto, it's safer in my head
Print my progress often

And keep the wolves at bay

I've been down in a ripple for darker days
[Chorus]

The wiser words are never more than free
F G
So let the snow prints melt, and keep the sun with me

I'm growing up, ye' see

I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me

I'm working on the family tree

I'll stay right with the program
Em
And pull my weight indeed
F C
I'm pulling weeds in autumn, should keep the birds in feed

Mixing up the tinkle pills, and children's rhymes

The wiser words are never far from me (far from me)

And let the shadows dance, and filled of course with glee
