| Lyrics |
I'll paly Bacchus for the evening,pray, be seated, take your places
Should my manna seem displeasing,offend your airs and graces,I've a list long as your arm,(
The connoisseur's selection)such bitter whines - a quaff of qualms,awaiting your inspections
The bubbles burst - this aint sham-pain
I've watched hopes wither on the vine
The fruits of labours toiled in vain
I reap soul-grapes at harvest time.
Anno 1999 - a classic year for Vintage Whine.
Since it's drawn - I must sup the cellarage of sorrowyet fate refills my tarnished cup each time I drain the dregs
Their poison cannot kill me - new strength from it I 'll borrowmy maudlin is a caudle that would fill a thousand kegs.
Here's one for the road - afore ye godrink deep sweet lads and lasses
Those blighted crops you gladly sowshall one day fill your glasses
Brood for decades - pure hate distilledthen bottled up much longer
Revenge - a draught I'll serve you chilled,when time has made it stronger
Non-cordial - it's bile bouquet.
Laments ferment the patience schnapps
Cask full of mulled futile dismay
My well-aged-rage - you 've turned the taps
Anno 1999 - a classic year for Vintage Whine.
Since it's drawn - I must sup the cellarage of sorrowyet fate refills my tarnished cup each time I drain the dregs
Their poison cannot kill me - new strength from it I 'll borrowmy maudlin is a caudle that would fill a thousand kegs.
Anno 1999 - a classic year for Vintage Whine.
