Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell
I've been writing in the Low life column pouring out my heart Once described as a suicide note in weekly parts Which prompted somebody to ask me why I drink so If he had to ask then he's never going to know Of the women and the gambling I was proud before I fell Lately I've been feeling unwell
I supped with Francis Bacon before he gave up the fight I saw Dylan Thomas stagger into that good night Lucien was one of us teetering on the brink Since then they all gave up the ghost or else gave up the drink Perhaps the clinking of the glasses was us ringing our death bell But not now I'm just feeling unwell
They said give up the bottle back in 1965 The doctors are pissed off that I am still alive They say I'm a role model for the young and the profane They want me to die horribly in pain Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Well fuck the doctors they can go to hell They don't help me when I'm feeling unwell
I've met extordinary folk in my extrodinary life I've had 500 women of which four became my wife I've had a lot of vodka and I've had a lot of fun I've chucked up at Ascot at the feet of the Queen Mum I've got my stories than I've time to tell But not now, I'm feeling unwell
But stuck in my sixth floor flat in a Soho tower block I wonder how I've survived so many knocks Soho ain't the paradise it once was anymore It's full of stip joints and fucking advertising bores Booze and fags are consolation but I've been ill for a spell Jeffrey Bernard is unwell
