Scrum takes the audience for a powertrip through a century of “workersongs” (Inspired by The Dubliners, The Pogues, Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys). Scrum stands for musical expertise and visual spectacle, a true unique experience. Scrum is singing, jumping, euphoria, freedom in a mix of Schotish and Irish traditionals and also their own songs.

Drunk again
Scrum Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It seem I can't remember how it came so far, my friend
Who took me here, what time is it? O damm' I'm drunk again!
I like to have a pint or two every now and then
But hey! I like them extra large, O damm' I'm drunk again!

Me legs can't bear me weight no more, I think I need a hand
Me feet, they move in separate ways, o damm' i'm drunk again!
I stand here with an empty glass, fill her up good man

Just take your time, have one yourself
Who cares? I'm drunk Again!

Pour it in a can
Damm', I'm drunk again!

I'm trying to keep my head up straight, I'm doing the best I can
The world becomes a hazy place, o damm' I'm drunk again!
I've lost me keys, so help me please, I've got no back up plan
I need a place to spend the night, because I'm drunk again!

Pour it in a can
Damm', I'm drunk again!

Drunk, drunk, drunk again! - Look and you will see
Drunk, drunk, drunk again! - As wasted as can be
Drunk, drunk, drunk again! - Like many times before
Drunk, drunk, drunk again! - I think I've hit the floor

Pour it in a can
Damm', I'm drunk again!

Looking back I realise
I'm just a poor old man

And that's another reason why tonight ...
I'll be drunk Again

Overall Meaning

The song "Drunk Again" by Scrum talks about the experience of being drunk and the consequences that come with it. The opening line, "It seems I can't remember how it came so far, my friend", suggests that the singer has lost track of how they got to their current state. This is a common occurrence when drinking heavily, where memories become hazy or lost altogether. The repetition of the phrase "Oh damn, I'm drunk again!" highlights the singer's regret and frustration over their situation.

As the song progresses, we see more consequences of being drunk. The singer's legs can't bear his weight and his feet move in separate ways. He has lost his keys and needs help finding a place to spend the night. These situations show that being drunk can lead to impaired movement and decision-making. The line "The world becomes a hazy place" reinforces the idea that being drunk alters your perception of reality.

The lyrics also suggest that alcohol is a crutch for the singer. He likes to have a pint or two every now and then, but he admits to liking them extra large. The line "I'm just a poor old man" shows that the singer may be turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism for his problems.

Overall, "Drunk Again" portrays the negative effects of heavy drinking, both physically and emotionally. The repetition of the chorus and the use of descriptive language enhance the song's message.
