At the beginning of this millenium, I realised that Wigan may not have a good football team, but they got Starsailor, named after an album by Tim Buckley. "Alcoholic" is a song that describes me (no, my father was no alcoholic, not even anonymous), and it is a song from one of my favourite albums, Starsailors debut "Love is Here":
Don't you know you've got your daddy's eyes?
Daddy was an alcoholic,
But your mother kept it all inside,
Threw it all away,
I was looking for another you,
And I found another one,
I was looking for another you,
When I looked round you were gone,
Stand by my side,
And the pipe dream is yours now,
Stand by my side,
And the cynics won't get in our way,
Don't you know you've got your daddy's eyes?
Daddy was an alcoholic,
But your mother kept it all inside,
Threw it all away,
I was looking for another you,
When I found another one,
I was looking for another you,
When I looked round you were gone,
Don't you know you've got your daddy's eyes?
Daddy was an alcoholic,
But your mother kept it all inside,
Threw it all away,
I was looking for another you,
When I looked round you were gone,
I was looking for another you,
When I looked round you were gone,
Stand by my side,
And the pipe dream is yours now,
Stand by my side,
And the cynics won't get in our way,
I was looking for another chance,
See your blue eyed problem
Here is another one from that album, that describes me: Poor Misguided Fool
