about

Suitably poetic & dramatically tragic heartbreak and good auld fashioned drunken libertinage!

lyrics

Three cheers! The man who savaged hearts.
Three cheers! His jolly lark,
Now I, damaged and damned,
Can only love with bottle in hand -

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder,
BOTTOMS UP! I'll love you longer,
drink, remember, I don't wanna live forever,
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder,
BOTTOMS UP! I'll love you longer,
dance, remember, I don't wanna live forever.

The moon howls, for children of the night,
Corsets, all that hold us tight,
Hearts, decadent and damned,
Can never trust past bottle in hand -

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder,
BOTTOMS UP! we'll love you longer,
drink, remember, we don't wanna live forever,
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder,
BOTTOMS UP! I'll love you longer,
dance, remember, we don't wanna live forever.

In wine there is truth
And we are sick of lies
And the velvet cloak and dagger
And Evil,
The only flower Love can gather

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder,
BOTTOMS UP! we'll love you longer,
drink, remember, we don't wanna live forever,
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder,
BOTTOMS UP! I'll love you longer,
dance, remember, we don't wanna live forever.

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder,
BOTTOMS UP! I'll love you longer,
Love NEVER lasts forever,
in the morning just forget... Her.
