The Kinks - Alcohol (Official Audio)

[@YARKS60]

This album is sublime.

[@robertculliford5698]

Possibly the greatest British album ever made I reckon

[@jamespecora5243]

Greatness. Musically. Lyrically. The Kinks.

[@Pizzageek-jc4xp]

Such a brilliant songwriter, truly one of the world's finest. The great Ray Davies .

[@juliemurphy9595]

One of the best albums ever made. Ray is a genius and deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as Townshend, Lennon/McCartney, and Jagger/Richards.

[@FenceThis]

Daltrey/Townshend isn’t really a thing, The Who’s songwriting is 95 % Townshend, 4% Entwistle, 1 % Daltrey

[@Billy-el9jz]

Rays right up there with mick and keith or john n paul

Here is 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 dole She left him lying on Skid Row A drunken lag in some Salvation Army Mission. It's such a shame. Oh demon alcohol, Sad memories I cannot recall, Who thought I would say, Damn it all and blow it all, Oh demon alcohol, Memories I cannot recall, Who thought I would fall a slave to demon alcohol. Barley wine pink gin, He'll drink anything, Port, Pernod or tequila, Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks, As long as all his troubles disappeared. But he messed up his life and he beat up his wife, And the floosie's gone and found another sucker She's gonna turn him on to drink She's gonna lead him to the brink And when his money's gone, She'll leave him in the gutter, It's such a shame. Oh demon alcohol, Sad memories I cannot recall, Who thought I would fall, A slave to demon alcohol.

[@Ruhilas]

Alcolism comes in many shapes and forms. Mine is so called fuctional. Love this song❤

[@jimsaunders4136]

Interesting. I just listened to the Band's "Life is a Carnival. " What do these "rock" songs have in common? Why, they both make use of the all important, essential rock instrument the tuba.
