lyrics

Lightweight

You should do what you say; why not say what you mean?
Use the tricks of the trade, to get one over me
You can lie through your teeth, but we still know the truth
All the spite and the sleaze will come right back to you

Let yourself down again
Once again, you say... never again!
Let us all down again
Went off the rails, now you’ve gone off the deep end
The bottom of the barrel

Let’s get back to reality, hard to say how you lost your way now
You ought to be ashamed. Look at the mess you’ve made
So quick to lay the blame. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
Some things will never change; you’ve always been your own worst enemy!

Going broke, nothing works, spinning out of control
Hanging on for your life as the cameras roll
Who cares what you say? You’re all bark and no bite
All the hate that you spout; how do you sleep at night?

Let yourself down again
Once again, you say... never again!
Let us all down again
Wormed your way in, now you’re out on your own and
The lowest of the low

Let’s get back to reality, hard to say how you lost your way now
You ought to be ashamed. Look at the mess you’ve made
So quick to lay the blame. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
Some things will never change; you’ve always been your own worst enemy!

Let yourself down again
Once again, you say... never again!
Let us all down again
When all’s said and done, you’re the one who’s a lightweight
Let yourself down again
Once again, you say... never again!
Let us all down again
Let us all down again

about

The Best Medicine Hitchin, UK

The Best Medicine came in to being at the tail end of 2018 after a drunken conversation at Bloodstock Festival. United by a common love of chugging riffs, beers and whiskey. This hard rock and metal outfit play songs to drink to that will wash the blues away. Expect no pretence when they take to the stage, taking no prisoners in their pursuit of a good time! ... more
