Drinking Song

Sunday was not-so-little-sister Cha's birthday so the weekend involved consuming (un)healthy amounts of beer and vodka. If it were up to me, the drink-up's soundtrack would consist of nothing but Tom Waits for his songs seem tailor made for drinking sessions but I doubt the people I was drinking with (cousins from San Juan and some friends) even know who Tom Waits is.

I Hope I Don't Fall In Love With You was the very first Tom Waits song I ever listened to, though the version I first heard was a live version by the 10,000 Maniacs. Looked up the maniacs' version but couldn't find it. Maybe I just imagined it for that was a long time ago.

And anticipating what some you could be thinking right about now: is this indicative of something?

...

Could be the hangover typing.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out.
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you,
you're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face,
guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.

But yeah, I guess I'll have another round.
