about

A somewhat messed up story about a long gone bar in Napier, on the East Coast of New Zealand - bar was called O'flaherty's and the rest is in the song,

lyrics

drunk & disorderly

Church bells clangin’ and bangin’
Like the dryer in an all night Laundromat
The stench of the alley is wafting in
Through the hotel tap

Couldn’t sleep if I wanted to
Sunday morning comes way too soon
Saturday night stickin’ to my skin
And my boy on the cell with a “where you been?”


chorus
“One more drink oughta do it”
Was the last thing I can recall
That empty bottle was full before
God help me if I drank it all

I think you thought it was funny
But I didn’t think it was nice
A hand down your pants and a hand on the mic
I wasn’t staying

So I tumbled out to the carpark
With half a dozen in tow
We talked about taking the all night bus
But there was just nowhere to go


chorus
“One more drink oughta do it”
Was the last thing I can recall
That empty bottle was full before
God help me if I drank it all
