Song Lyrics

They try in vain our minds to chain
They try in vain our minds to chain

I'm up in the stars
I'm looking down at the gutter
When I'm good, I'm very good
But when I'm bad, I'm better

[Chorus:]
Oh barman, fill this glass again
And keep on pouring till Death says "when"
Oh barman, fill it to the top
And we'll be drinking till the singing has to stop

They try in vain our minds to chain
They try in vain our minds to chain

A, B, C, D, E, F, G
The only notes that matter
When I'm good, I'm very good
But when I'm bad, I'm better

[Chorus]

Run from fire and dreamt of fire
Run from fire and dreamt of fire
Run from fire and dreamt of fire

They try in vain our minds to chain
They try in vain our minds to chain
They try in vain our minds to chain

Me and all my friends are coming 'round to your house
And we're not going to go until we get thrown out
And we're not going to go until we get thrown out
And we're not going to go until we get thrown out
And we're not going to go until we get thrown out

[Chorus]

Oh barman, fill this glass again
They try in vain our minds to chain

Oh barman, fill this glass again
They try in vain our minds to chain

Oh barman, fill this glass again
They try in vain our minds to chain

To chain...
To chain...
To chain...
