well whatever, I just wanted to bring that thing up about the siberian shaman I thought some people might find it interesting. I know being pissed, pissing has something to do with drinking in england.

pissing - peeing
pissed - drunk
pissed off - angry
taking the piss - joking

Siberian shamans are fine in my book.After listening to an hour of tibetan monks chanting the whole afternoon,i feel a more tolerant person than i was before.

here is the lyrics to the song:


We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times:

'Oh Danny Boy
Danny Boy
Danny Boy...'

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times:

'Don't cry for me
Next door neighbour...'

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing


I don't think its about wasting time, I think all the mention of alchol might be self-explanatory. But then I guess if you drink that much alchol you will be pissing(peeing) the night away.

Cantankerous 08.12.2006 03:16 PM

going out and getting drunk off your ass is definitely considered to be wasting time. i should know. i don't do anything but waste time.

yes i fucking hate this song, I just remeber finding the "pissing the night away" part very funny as a kid

They have committed many crimes and the one of existing as a band is the worst .The idea that they have access to a recording studio worries me for the future generations.

Ok yeah, I see where I was wong I should have said to get pissed rather than taking a piss but whatever here is the article where I got this fact from It is called The psychedelic secrets of santa claus, it is about how the origins of santa claus might have came from amanitat muscaria use. read it is pretty interesting. http://cannabisculture.com/articles/3136.html

That's the John Marco Allegro theory. Interesting stuff, but almost none of it is confirmed to my knowledge. Something of a cult.

Toilet & Bowels 08.12.2006 04:22 PM

that chumawamba song was a huge hit in the UK

acousticrock87 08.12.2006 04:29 PM

It was rather big here, too, I think. But just the chorus. I never heard the song in its entirety.

And you're not missing much,believe me.
