Story behind the song
Song about problems in human life, but also ode to good scotch and Ireland's greatest guitar hero.
Lyrics
Some keep on searching
for the fountain of youth,
And after failing hard
they turn to a bottle of booze.
Oh that’s the way you only lose.
That’s the way you lose.
Some see life in numbers,
Business plans and financial success
Still they gamble all
And follow money at chain of fools.
That’s the way you only lose.
That’s the way you lose.
Some do anything for fame
Sell their soul just to be known.
Strip naked for a pot of gold.
’till they got nothing left to show.
That’s the way you only lose.
That’s the way you lose.
Some believe in nothing.
Not in life, or in god, or in love.
They see world as a drain.
And it’s all just going to hell.
That’s the way you only lose.
That’s the way you lose.
All I want is little less pain
And feel your love in the nightx
Drink good scotch, play a few songs
and visit old Rory once in a while.
12 long long years and two fine casks,
from fields of the corner.
I hope it’s gonna last.
Water of life from Glasgow.
Fountain of youth in a glass.
