lyrics

Whose that sitting at the end of the bar
Pouring his drinks from an earthenware jar
What did you expect for this time of day
You buy him a drink and he'll go away

He's an all time loser that they taught to sing
Trouble and pain was all he could bring
He sits there drinking by the telephone
He can't get strength to go home alone

Cos the phone keeps ringing and there's noone there
Just a dirty trick to get him out of his chair
He dreams one day at the end of the line
A voice will say, "come taste the wine"

Sweet success looked him in the face
He said you're good but to win this race
You got to be mean enough to make you rich
Forget lady luck, she's a filthy bitch

And how, and how?

So our little boy singer with the sweet silver voice
Said to the man, "That's a hell of a choice. What about fun and all the good times? Forget about the rest I want to taste the wine!"

Cos the phone keeps ringing and there's noone there
Just a dirty trick to get him out of his chair
He dreams one day at the end of the line
A voice will say, "Come taste the wine"

I don't know what you thinking but it seems to be so plain
That you're not prepared to tell us all of things that seem so strange
The wine is there for taking by anyone who dares
But the the one who drinks the deepest is the one with smallest cares

Come taste the wine, the wine, come taste the wine
I need the wine

Whose that sitting at the end of the bar
Pouring his drinks from an earthenware jar
What did you expect for this time of day
You buy him a drink and he'll go away

He's an all time loser that they taught to sing
Trouble and pain was all he could bring
He sits there drinking by the telephone
He can't get strength to go home alone

Cos the phone keeps ringing and there's no one there
Just a dirty trick to get him out of his chair
He dreams one day at the end of the line
A voice will say, "come taste the wine"
