Pints Of Guinness Make You Strong

Pints Of Guinness Make You Strong

Against Me!
(album: Reinventing Axl Rose)

Evelyn sits by the elevator doors
It´s been 37 years since James died on St. Patrick´s Day in 1964
But she could not hold it against him
There were times when there was nothing she could do
But lie in bed all day beside a picture of them together
A picture of better days

And just like James, I´ll be drinking irish tonight
and the memory of his last work week will be gone forever
Evelyn I´m not coming home tonight!
If we´re never together
If I´m never back again
Well I swear to God that I´ll love you forever
Evelyn I´m not coming home tonight!

In all the years that went by she said
She´d always love him
and from the day that he died
She never loved again

And in his wallet she kept in her nightstand
an a.a. card and a lock of red hair
she kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart
it killed a part of her before the rest was gone.

She said, "If I would have known just how things would have ended up I just would have let myself die."

And just like james, I´ll be drinking irish tonight
and the memory of his last work week wil be gone forever
Evelyn I´m not coming home tonight!
If we´re never together
If I´m never back again
Well I swear to God that I´ll love you forever
Evelyn I´m not coming home tonight!
