about

This is our Ode Guinness Stout. The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

lyrics

I sit here all alone with my empty beer
The alcohol goes rushing to my head
I look out this pub window into the rain
I see a world that seems to want me dead

And when I’m feeling down
I let the sunshine in
I know that it won’t help me off the ground
But it helps life to sink in

Well they say that Guinness gives you strength
For all I know I guess it could be true
But I do know that when my life is at it’s darkest
That thick black ray of sunshine gets me through

(chorus)
I know there must be more to life
Than just another drunken night
Followed by another drunken day
Only answer I can find another pint to hide behind
I just can’t help but deal this way

I sit here not alone all my friends are here
The alcohol won’t help me to forget
I look out this pub window and at the stars
I see a world that hasn’t killed me yet
