One of our guitarists, (Barry) brought this song with him from his previous band. I always loved the music, but thought the previous versions were sh*t. It started life as “Crutch” and then another singer tried to change it to “Livin’ On Borrowed Time.” Neither guy really captured the vibe of the thing the way Barry had intended. So, I sat with him, and asked what he wanted it to be. He said he liked the original idea involving the propensity for those who’ve ingested a considerable amount of alcohol, to act slightly bolder than they normally would.\u00a0 Call it “stronger than beer muscles.” So it became this. Drunken mind, allowing for repressed thoughts and ideas to be released.<\/p>\n
This song went over very well live…I wonder why?<\/p>\n

\n Ready to light up the town<\/em>
\n Me an’ the boys out to make some noise<\/em>
\n Tear this sucker down<\/em>
\n Hey Bartender! Set them up<\/em>
\n I think I’m gonna need a drink<\/em>
\n We’ll get messed up<\/em>
\n And with a little luck<\/em>
\n I’m gonna take a lady home with me…With the help of my good friend<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Maybe we could spend some time<\/em>
\n Oh, no no, it’s not what you think<\/em>
\n I don’t wanna make you mine<\/em>
\n All I saw at the end of the bar<\/em>
\n Was a girl, with a pretty smile<\/em>
\n But now you frown, and I been shot down<\/em>
\n I still like your style<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Need some time to think<\/em>
\n I thought I saw a wink<\/em>
\n I need a…<\/em><\/p>\n
\n She put me on the spot<\/em>
\n So I’ll give it what I got<\/em>
\n I need a…<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Wind up out in the street<\/em>
\n I got places to go, things to do<\/em>
\n Lots o’ lovely ladies to meet<\/em>
\n Oh, you bet your ass I will be back<\/em>
\n See you here tomorrow night<\/em>
\n But now, I’ll go…because I know<\/em>
\n I don’t wanna fight no mo’<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Need some time to think<\/em>
\n I thought I saw a wink<\/em>
\n I need a…<\/em><\/p>\n
\n She put me on the spot<\/em>
\n So I’ll give it what I got<\/em>
\n I need a…<\/em><\/p>\n
