Drunk
P.Keys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've drunk all the gin
I've finished off the cider,
Now I've started on the Pimms
Now I'm just as drunk as a drunk man can be
And all me drunk friends, are as drunken as me
I've pissed in your garden,
I've sweared in the streets
And I've follen on the floor
I've rowed wi' our lass, and started a fight
Cos the look that she gimme
Just wasn't quite right
I spent all last night
Drunk in the nick
Where I wok up this morning
Feeling quite sick
I've took three paracetamol
To numb down the pain
But tonight in the bar,
I'll just get pissed again
Now booze is the badge
That shows you belong
Everyone does it,
So what could be wrong
With a wicked diversion,
A Pernod or two
A few fizzy lagers,
Vodka and Irn Bru
Now I've got liver sclerosis,
Me kidneys they are crap
Me hands shek like kittens tied up in a sack
Me eyes are both bloodshot,
Me teeth look obscene
Me breath is like petrol,
Me skin like plasticine
Now I'm drunk every morning
And drunk every night
And I can't remember what started this blight
I just wanted a drink so that I could fit in
Now I'll drink by me sen
til me liver gives in
Yes i'll drink by me sen til me liver gives in.
The lyrics to P.Keys's song Drunk delve into the dangers of alcohol consumption and addiction. The first stanza paints a picture of excessive drinking, as the singer claims to have finished all sorts of alcoholic beverages - whiskey, gin, cider, and Pimms - and to be "just as drunk as a drunk man can be." The second stanza takes on a more somber tone, as the singer acknowledges having engaged in destructive behavior while intoxicated, such as urinating in someone else's garden, vomiting at someone's door, swearing in public, and getting into a fight with their partner. The third stanza highlights the physical toll that alcohol has taken on the singer's body, with mentions of liver sclerosis, kidney problems, shaking hands, bloodshot eyes, and a breath that smells like petrol.
Overall, the song seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of alcohol addiction and the negative impact it can have on one's life. The chorus, with its refrain of "Now I'll drink by me sen til me liver gives in," suggests a sense of resignation on the part of the singer, as if they feel trapped in a cycle of addiction and unable to break free.
