Written from the perspective of one of Charle Bukowski's ex-lovers...with a little Bach two-part invention to kick it off...

lyrics

Fallen down empties, a half drunk scotch
If timing is everything what have we got
A shit-load of nothing, you wore me out well
Got a fun-loving swig of your bourbonesque hell
Fun-loving swig of your bourbonesque hell

And I'm praying the sun won't shine through too bright
'Cause i fell in your scene and I'm trying to make right
You're nothing good for my you wore me out well
Got a fun-loving swig of your bourbonesque hell
Fun-loving swig of your bourbonesque hell

You wonder why the cold has crept in you mire
I've turned off the heat, but you've drowned your own fire
You've played the same game for too many times
And I've come to lay claim to what's rightfully mine

And I'm praying the sun won't shine through too bright
'Cause i fell in your scene and I'm trying to make right
You're nothing good for me, a player for sure
And I'm just another notch in your top forty score
Just another notch in your top forty score

You've drunk all your whiskey, you've drunk all your wine
Your cupboards are empty, your well has run dry
A shit-load of nothing is all you've got now
And the curtain is falling on your final bow

And I'm praying the sun won't shine through too bright
'Cause I fell in your scene, and I'm trying to make right
You're nothing good for me, you wore me out well
Got a fun-loving swing of your bourbonesque hell
Fun-loving swig of your bourbonesque hell

The Whiskey Jerks Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

The Whiskey Jerks came together when Gillian Snider, who no longer wanted to drink alone, felt it was time to expand upon her one woman accordiana show. After convincing the talented Anna Bekolay (violin), Sarah Scharf (clarinet), Nevin Buehler (upright bass), Peter Abonyi (guitar) and Aidan Weiman (drums) to join her on her misadventure, The Whiskey Jerks soon created their own distinct niche. ... more
