lyrics

Three months on from my original prognosis
Many pills were took and many tests were done
With all the evidence combined the doctor changed his mind
He said, "It's not type two you've got, it's type one
I asked "in laymens terms where does this leave us?"
He said, " it's pretty much the same place as before,
Yeah you're still fairly ill, but it's injections now not pills,
And you still can't drink cider anymore"

No I can't drink coder anymore
Well I can a bit, just the same amount as once before
No I can't drink cider now it's true
Oh what is west country boy to do
I don't believe things happen for a reason
They just happen and we do the best we can
Like a scratch on a guitar, like a tattoo or a scar
It's the war wounds tell the story of a man

No I can't drink coder anymore
I'd better knock it on the head at least until they find a cure
No I can't drink cider now it's true
Oh what is west country boy to do
