This is the best song written by Lal Waterson for the "Bright Phoebus" album. It features Norma Waterson on vocals but there's a demo version sung by Lal herself. G C Em Fell in the street in a drunken heap; Am G There's bright water all around me. G C Em And the cheap red wine in me drunken brain Am G Has left a burning flame in me belly. Dm I don't need nobody helping me; C G I don't need nobody's arm around me. G C Em If I was a black beetle upside down, Am G I could kick all night long and never turn around. G C Em But I'm flat on my back in the rainbow rain, Am G Still I know, in the morning I'll be on me feet again. Dm Just can't get a grip on the ground; C G I'm upside down the right way round. G C Em I promise thee my shameless lady, Am G Who laughs out loud in the sad patient night, G C Em Always to be honestly thee, Am G In me waking dreams or me drunken nights, Dm I don't fear the yawning sunshine morning; C G I'm forward running back again. G C Em Fell in the street in a drunken heap; Am G There's bright water all around me. G C Em And the cheap red wine in me drunken brain Am G Has left a burning flame in me belly. Dm I don't need nobody helping me; C G I don't need nobody's arm around me.
