Relax boys. I am not drinking yet. I am merely thinking about drinking - and, more specifically - thinking about "drink". Yes - I think a lot. In fact, I think all day...
Anyways...
In the lyrics to "Melancholia" from the album, "Days like this", the great Van Morrison pours out these words:
"And it's in my life and it's all the time
It doesn't go away when the church bells chime
In the evening time when I drink my wine
In the evening time when it's on my mind
Melancholia, melancholia, melancholia"
You can't find a Youtube version of this song - because Van the Man is (a) such a f*cken control freak or (b) a shrewd business man. So you'll have to play your own CD - which I'm sure you have.
I wonder if Van was such a c*nt before he gave up drink.
I'll tell you - he sure had drink when he drank. He has produced some of the best tunes of my life. What I am not sure about is whether or not his drink was as powerful when gave up drink, or aged, or whatever happened to him.
My anger at not finding that song on Youtube has utterly distracted me. I don't know why I am in front of a computer, blogging, when I could be by the hearth with my family - drinking my wine.
