There's No Drinking After You're Dead Lyrics - Paul Weller

Come, taste the wine 

Come, lose yourself 

Taste this time 

But keep it well 

Only love it all 

With heart and head 

For there is no drinking 

After you're dead 

Dive and swim 

In the amber ocean 

See all that you can 

In this new emotion 

Embrace it now 

Before it's skin sheds 

For there is no drinking 

After you're dead 

Stand back to back 

With yourself again 

As you spin and reel 

Like a new found friend 

And have it all 

With heart and hands 

For there is no love making 

After you're dead 

Today is but a second 

If tomorrow you may die 

And empty pages glistening 

To eternity's lie 

And time is money's worth 

Encased upon the wall 

That brings our day of reckoning 

Much closer to us all 

Time will pass you by 

Light the candle 

And burn it well 

For only time knows 

What it cannot yet tell 

Only love it all 

With heart and head 

For there is no drinking 

After you're dead
