Steppenwolf 'The Pusher' wherein John Kay GD's the pusherman for all the harm he's caused. Used to be my theme song in a tongue and cheek way, now I know it from the singers perspective.

Same artist 'Snowblind friend' goes something like
'He only had a dollar to live on til next Monday
But he spent it all on something for his mind..
Do you say you think he's blind..'

I drink alone, by George Yhoroughgood.

I could relate to it.

SPF 77

Well I would have to say "Breakin the Law" by Judas Priest. Sums up years 18-21 pretty well

findingout

Dixie Chicks "Am I the Only One (Who's Ever Felt This Way)"
Warren Zevon "Lawyers, Guns, and Money"
Talking Heads "Road To Nowhere"

Cindi

Oh my Lord. There is a Warren Zevon fan here too. Whenever I hear the song from him "My Sh**'s F-d up (excuse the language) I just laugh b/c it's the way all of addicts feel at some point. (Sorry about the language)

Warren Zevon, Zevon Music BMI

Well, I went to the doctor
I said, "I'm feeling kind of rough"
He said, "I'll break it to you, son
Your ****'s ****** up."
I said, "my ****'s ****** up?"
Well, I don't see how--"
He said, "The **** that used to work--
It won't work now."

I had a dream
Ah, shucks, oh, well
Now it's all ****** up
It's shot to hell

Yeah, yeah, my ****'s ****** up
It has to happen to the best of us
The rich folks suffer like the rest of us
It'll happen to you

That amazing grace
Sort of passed you by
You wake up every day
And you start to cry
Yeah, you want to die
But you just can't quit
Let me break it on down:
It's the ****** up ****

I am not really much of a country-western fan, but I love "Friends in Low Places," Garth Brooks. It pretty much says it all. Somehow, those cowboys seem to have a knack for the cryin' in my beer songs. I'll do some more thinking and see what I come up with.

Keith Don't Go - Nils Lofgren re: Keith Richards

CAPTAINZING2000

I really do appreciate the fact you're sittin' here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But yer face don't look too clear
So bar maid bring a pitcher, another round o' brew
Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw

Chorus:
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw

-- Spoken: "Pick it Coral Reefers, here we go..."

(swing instrumental)

Chorus:
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a waterbed it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So why don't we get drunk and screw
Yeah, now baby I say, (Lord!)
Why don't we get drunk and screw


You haven't ever had a good time til you went to see Jimmy in concert

Cut My Hair, by The Who

<center>Why should I care
If I have to cut my hair?
I've got to move with the fashions
Or be outcast.
I know I should fight
But my old man he's really alright,
And I'm still living at home
Even though it won't last.

Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents
Five inches long.
I'm out on the street again
And I'm leaping along.
I'm dressed right for a beach fight,
But I just can't explain
Why that uncertain feeling is still
Here in my brain.

The kids at school
Have parents that seem so cool.
And though I don't want to hurt them
Mine want me their way.
I clean my room and my shoes
But my mother found a box of blues,
And there doesn't seem much hope
They'll let me stay.

Zoot suit, [etc.]

Why do I have to be different to them?
Just to earn the respect of a dance hall friend,
We have the same old row, again and again.
Why do I have to move with a crowd
Of kids that hardly notice I'm around,
I have to work myself to death just to fit in.

I'm coming down
Got home on the very first train from town.
My dad just left for work
He wasn't talking.
It's all a game,
'Cos inside I'm just the same,
My fried egg makes me sick
First thing in the morning.</center>

oh, come on, guys
"THE PIANO MAN"
BY Billy Joel
it is "the" song for alcoholics

1Marty

O yeah, that one really brings back the drinkin memories for me too.

Gooch

I really liked this tune as it came out in between the time I went to my first rehab and finally 3 yesr later surrendered to the principles of recovery.

HEAVY FUEL / Dire Straits

Gooch

My favorite new performer is a biker from the heartland.

His lyrics reflect the lifestyle and he doesn't hesitate to relate his experience with damn near loosing everything to this disease.

I wanna dedicate this to a couple of my friends who've come a long way out of the darkness and into the light. To better and gentler times .... Good on ya both.

Every time I heard harry sing this one, I thought of puttin a lime in my rum and coke

ARTIST: Harry Nilsson
TITLE: Coconut
Lyrics and Chords


/ Entire song is just C7, picked /

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one, she paid it for the lime

She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up (3x)
Put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up, and said

Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache

Now let me get this straight
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em both up (3x)
Put the lime in the coconut, you called your doctor, woke him up, and said

Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache

You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one, she paid it for the lime
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up, and said

Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said
Now let me get this straight

You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both up (3x)
Put the lime in the coconut, you're such a silly woman

Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both down
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning

Woo-oo, ain't there nothin' you can take, I said
Woo-oo, to relieve your bellyache, you said
Woo-oo, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said
Woo-oo, to relieve your bellyache, you say

Yeah-ah, ain't there nothing I can take, I say
Wow-ow, to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I said (3x)
Doctor, you're such a silly woman

Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the mo-o-ornin'

Yes, you call me in the morning
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do {repeat to fade}
