Stump - Alcohol

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Every song on this album is a musical seven-course meal followed by a cigar and a glass of fine Port by the fireplace and a big fluffy dog for company. Rest easy, Mick Lynch.

Stump, "A Fierce Pancake" (1988), an incredible album I bought many years ago in a popular street market. I didnt know anything about the group, just I was fascinated with the wonderfull cover. So, i bought it, cheap price. Then, I listened to it and I felt excited with this rare and original music. One rare pearl in my discography!!!.

Pequeña obra maestra

[@Molluscful]

I have this Album
On cassette format somewhere in the attic. I
Listened to it non-stop for about two
months straight after it came out and know it like the back of my hand. Overtime my favourite song from the album has moved around but I think the picture this one paints is now very poignant, very melancholy and with the sad passing of Mr Mick Lynch a few years ago deserves to be remembered for its lyrical beauty. Thanks for posting.

what a beautiful song, it's a shame how criminally underrated this band is

[@StarsOnESP]

Such a glorious song. 💜

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
With alcohol I rule the world, with a little word
And a meaning for motion
I'd swallow the ocean
My indiscretion takes ahold, my voice is heard
In my own conversation
My anger is ragin'
[Chorus]
But oh
Feel the energy, oh
Of the gravity, oh
Here comes his majesty
The man who would be king
[Verse 2]
With alcohol I rule the world, they shun my scorn
And the strength of oration
Commanding attention
My intuition takes control, I look to my soul
And by shear concentration
I hammered that mountain
[Chorus]
But oh
Hear the timpani, oh
And then a symphony, oh
Lay his majesty
[Verse 3]
With alcohol I lose control of those fleeting emotions
I cling to the wall as I hide all my protest
I laugh when I fall and I cry when I notice
[Chorus]
That oh
There's no sympathy, oh
It's a tragedy, oh
There goes his majesty
The man who would be- oh
Where's the sympathy, oh
It's a fallacy, oh
It's my destiny, oh
Where's the sympathy, oh
There goes his majesty
The man who could be king!
(I couldn't find them anywhere online, So I had to write them out myself, Let me know if you think I got anything wrong, Especially unsure on the last line of the first two verses, And the last two lines of the second chorus.)

Stump - Alcohol
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
With alcohol I rule the world, with a little word
And a meaningful motion
I'd swallow the ocean
My indiscretion takes a hold, my voice is heard
In my own conversation
My anger is measured
[Chorus]
But oh
Feel the energy, oh
Of the gravity, oh
Here comes his majesty
The man who would be king
[Verse 2]
With alcohol I rule the world, they shun my scorn
And the strength of oration
Commanding attention
My intuition takes control, I look to my soul
And by sheer concentration
Mohammed that mountain
[Chorus]
But oh
Hear the timpani, oh
And then a symphony, oh
Lay his majesty
[Verse 3]
With alcohol I lose control of those fleeting emotions
I cling to the wall as I hide all my protest
I laugh when I fall and I cry when I notice
[Chorus]
That oh
There's no sympathy, oh
It's a tragedy, oh
There goes his majesty
The man who would be- oh
Where's the sympathy, oh
It's a fallacy, oh
It's my destiny, oh
Where's the sympathy, oh
There goes his majesty
The man who could be king!

There was a time during college where I would listen to this song at least nine times a day. I can’t explain why, I just felt it.

Still have my vinyl from back in the day...creativity par excellence...an Irish bus that has to reverse uphill because it's overloaded...Kev...dear Kev...I wish I could do that!
