lyrics

The doctor sat me down and said "I'm sorry...
But It's really not the very best of news,
You'll have to cut down on the sweeties, you've got type two diabetes
Worst of all you'll have to cut down on the booze".
Well as you know I'm partial to a tipple
You can imagine that this news came as a blow
But I was not prepared for the next thing that he said
"It's your favourte drink's the one that gots to go"

He said, "you can't drink cider anymore"
It's like the rug pulled out from under me and my head hit the floor
No I can't drink coder now it's iot's true
Oh what is a west country boy to do?

He said, "For some resaon your pancreas stopped working,
And I'm sorry but we do not know the cause
Now your blood sugar's always highm faulty insulin is why
And that's the reason you've been feeling in the wars"
So now I have to watch my sugar intake
And it's just typical, my favourite drink's the worst
I don't mind not eating chocolate, I could give up quite a lot but
WHat the hell do I drink now to quench my thirst?

No I can't drink cider anymore
I didn't know how good I had it when I had it all before
No I can't drink cider now it's true
Oh what is west country boy to do

Compared to some I know I've got it easy
Life's unfair, but it's nobody's fault
So from cider I'll abstain and try my best not to complain
And after all there is always single malt

But I can't drink cider anymore
Wine is out as well I think but whisky's fine I'm sure
No I can't drink cider now it's true
Oh what is a west country boy to do
No I can't drink cider anymore
Shares in Thatchers Gold will soon be crashin thought the floor
No I can't drink cider now it's true
Oh what is a west country boy to do
