The Drunkest Man In The World - The Lucksmiths

The drunkest man in the world

Misunderstands what he’s overheard

Morose one minute, more toasts the next

He’s amazing, he’s a mess

Nevertheless

Always well dressed

The drunkest man in the world

The ones he loves are the ones he hurts

He writes his wife every other day

He’s got a way with words but he’s a world away

There’s a lot to say

He forgot today

He’s my father’s favourite poet

But you’d never know it

The drunkest man in the world

Beer on his pants, blood on his shirt

Sunken eyed and sallow skinned

The life of the party is the death of him
