Alcohol (2022 Remaster) The Kinks

[Verse 1]
Here's a story about a sinner
He used to be a winner
Who enjoyed a life of prominence and position
But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements
And his selfish wife's fanatical ambition
It turned him to the booze
And he got mixed up with a floosie
And she led him to a life of indecision
The floosie made him spend his dough
She left him lying on Skid Row
A drunken lag in some Salvation Army mission

[Pre-Chorus]
It's such a shame

[Chorus]
Oh, demon alcohol
Sad memories I can't recall
Who thought I would say
"Damn it all and blow it all"
Oh, demon alcohol
Memories I can't recall
Who thought I would fall
A slave to demon alcohol
Sad memories I can't recall
Who thought I would fall
A slave to demon alcohol
