Concerning the Use of Whiskey as a Metaphor for Gin

And no I don't drink whiskey
although my songs say I do
It's just a device that I use

And when I say whiskey
I really mean something else
like gin or wine
but I've already said gin
and I've already said wine

And when I say I don't drink whiskey
well then that's not just a device that I use
Because I don't drink much whiskey
but I do drink booze

But mostly gin and mostly wine
and mostly all of the time

And no I don't drink whiskey
because it makes my heart bleed
and my heart's always bleeding all over my body
my heart's always bleeding all over for you
and my heart's always bleeding all over my body
and guiding it 'round in little tubes

My blood doesn't have the usual red colour
not the red colour that usual blood has
My blood doesn't have the usual red colour
more like the colour of five pound shiraz

My blood doesn't have the usual red colour
the usual red colour that all blood should have
My blood doesn't have the usual red colour
it's more like a reasonably priced cab sav

I don't drink whiskey
but I do drink booze
well whiskey is just a word that I use
to mean gin from Plymouth or bottles of wine
at ten pounds reduced to five

I don't drink whiskey
no I don't drink whiskey
I don't drink whiskey
no I don't drink whiskey
'cause it hurts my mind
