2 Fingers Of Whiskey

[BiteUrLip]

Music: Elton John

Lyrics: Bernie Taupin

piano: Elton John

guitar: Jack White

I cheated just to get on by

Yea, I cheated just to get on by

If I can't save my sellin' ways

Gonna keep on getting high

I sleeping off the weekend run

Sleeping off the weekend run

When I'm awake I'm looking back

On all the ships I've sunk


chorus:


Two fingers of whiskey

Good ol' fashion rye

We shower bound for glory

And pour it best and dry

Two fingers of whiskey

That is all I need

To keep drowning the devil

Living in me

Living in me


I'm hanging on the hook of the moon

Hanging on that trevle moon

If I don't get out of this battle

Lord you're gonna see me soon

Just like a dog, I wanna howl

Like an old dog, I wanna howl

You jump on my aces

Who is gonna save me now?


(repeat chorus)


(repeat chorus)

A nice, bluesy, stripped arranged song with weird lyrics.

4 stars.

Not bad, I think this was recorded around the time Diving Board was recorded. Glad it was left off the album. Wouldn't fit.

3 1/2 stars

I thought this recording is much newer than that, based on the time when I first saw it, which I can't remember accurately. Does anyone else know?

3.5
it's like more inspired version of 'Mexican Vacation'.

Yes, I have similar opinion with you. They are both very similar songs.
