Six Beers and Rocksteady Music
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My heart `s broken just like glass my life is a mess
`cos tonight you turned me down
I had wine in the fridge I'm gonna find myself a bridge
and throw your letters down

I had to change my plan since you changed your mind
here's my alternative for you and food and wine
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers nad Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady beat
are my friends tonight
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady beat
make me feel all right

You say he works in a bank he's a good-lookin` man
he's wearing suits and ties
you say he does not smoke you say he's never broke
and he `s never telling lies

I heard he's got a wife and she pays the rent
I hope your night will be as pleasant
as the one I'm gonna spend

Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady beat
are my friends tonight
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady beat
make me feel all right

Big Daddy thinks you're someone else
not one of the girls
who just want to be screwed

When we first met you said you liked it rough and rude
but all the cash and jewellery put you in a sentimental mood
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady beat
are my friends tonight
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady beat
make me feel all right

Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady beat
are my friends tonight
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady music
Six beers and Rocksteady beat
make me feel all right
