July Morning Songtext
von Greenland Whalefishers

Was an early July morning
Sat down by the lake
Tried to supersede a whole lot of mistakes
If our eyes looked smart, we succeeded our fake

Small trout were jumping
Broke the waterline
Got a plastic bag of Amstel next to mine
I said "girl smell Mother Nature, ain′t she fine"?

Was an early July morning I lost you
By the sea in gentle breeze, the sky was blue
When I smashed my 7th bottle
You said, "I'm leaving you"


God bless your heart of gold
Keep your complete control
A perfect way of growing old
And don′t forget tomorrow
Help you through your big I.D
Better love than honey E
It keeps you from insanity
And settles down the sorrow

Was another July morning
I felt sick and slow
Killed some time by counting busses to and fro
Wanted to leave but I didn't have anywhere to go

Then a bright light in the shadow
An old man said "my son
My left front pocket's worth £700
And I don′t want to drink them all alone"

Was another July morning close to heaven
I saved some booze and bread
In a dirty lane
I smashed a stone against his head


God bless your heart of gold
Keep your complete control
A perfect way of growing old
And don′t forget tomorrow
Help you through your big I.D
Better love than honey E
It keeps you from insanity
And settles down the sorrow

If you find me drowned in liquor
Down beside The Golden Vodka Gate
Hey, don't blame yourself
It was my self-made final fate

God bless your heart of gold
Keep your complete control
A perfect way of growing old
And don′t forget tomorrow
Help you through your big I.D
Better love than honey E
It keeps you from insanity
And settles down the sorrow
