lyrics

Spent the wee hours Just staring at the ceiling
Pining my minutes away
Lost loneliness is my only feeling
Can't seem to start the day
Dreaming of hope waiting for the sunrise
To bring some cheer my way

Waiting for the first pint of the day
Waiting for that nectar to wash my cares away
I know that I'll be grand living life just like I planned
Once I've had the first pint of the day

Get home each night and crawl into my bed
The evenings sweetness still on my lips
But then in the morning i find myself pining
To be in your comforting arms again

Waiting for the first pint of the day
Waiting for that nectar to wash my cares away
I know that I'll be grand living life just like I planned
Once I've had the first pint of the day

I've tried every drug from cocaine to love
But nothing else does it for me

Life is always better with a pint glass in your hand
No bad news can take that cheer away
So why limit yourself with societal restraint
Tip one back any hour of the day

Waiting for the first pint of the day
Waiting for that nectar to wash my cares away
I know that I'll be grand living life just like I planned
Once I've had the first pint of the day
