Twenty Fucking Five To One

[helfgott_rachs]

thanks and praises, thanks to jesus
i bet of a bottle of smoke
i went to hell, and to the races
to bet of a bottle of smoke

the day being clear, the sky being bright
he came up on the left like a streak of light
like a drunken fuck on a saturday night
up came the bottle of smoke

twenty fucking five to one
my gambling days are done
i bet on a horse called the bottle of smoke
and my horse won

stewards inquiry, swift and fiery
i had the bottle of smoke
inquisitions and suppositions
i had the bottle of smoke

fuck the stewards, a trip to lourdes
might give the old fuckers the power of sight
screaming springers and stoppers, and call out the coppers
but the money still gleams in my hand like a light

bookies cursing, cars reversing
i had the bottle of smoke
glasses steaming, vessels bursting
i had the bottle of smoke

slip a fifty to the wife, and for each brat a crisp new fiver
to give me a break on a saturday night
when i had a bottle of smoke

priests and maidens, drunk as pagens
they had the bottle of smoke
sins forgiven and celebrations
they had the bottle of smoke

fuck the yanks, and fuck their wives
the moon is clear, the sky is bright
i'm happy as the horses shite
up came the bottle of smoke
