Old Red Eyes Is Back

The Beautiful South - Old Red Eyes - YouTube

Quite possibly the greatest song about drinking. I appreciate it more now I'm sober.

Great song, thanks for the reminder, used to watch them a lot in my teens including the royal court in Liverpool and various other places, was intrigued at that age by the lyrics to this song and also 'Liars bar' and 'the slide' two more songs they did on the subject little did I know back then that my life would follow suit..........!

Paul Heaton, the song's author, had a very public drinking problem. You wonder if this and the other songs you mentioned have an autobiographical slant.
