The Honey Mead by Paddy Garrigan and The Stroller Priests

They stood on the bed, emptying glasses
The words were said like lines from an actor
The honey mead was sweet but so potent
They drank up and then they fell down

She felt like a queen, he felt like a merchant
They didn't have long and business was urgent
And things like a name did not seem important
They drank up and then they fell down

Oh, fix me up another, fix me up another drink
I don't need it to feel pretty, I need it so I can't think
Or maybe you've got something else to put me in the pink
But I'm falling, I'm falling down

She felt like the moon, he felt like a sailor
The queen of all lands and Glad the Impaler
He gave her a kiss and then he betrayed her
They drank up and then they fell down

She felt like a bag, he felt like a soldier
His life in her hands, her hands on his shoulders
For ten minutes' sleep, they felt ten years older,
They drank up and then they fell down

Oh, let there be another, let there be another,
Let there be some way that you could satisfy,
You haven't done it yet.
You said you'd always love me but you've
managed to forget my name. It's Hell-and
We're falling down

They stood on a bed….
