Don't Be Proud





Lately I've been thinking
There's too much to do
Don't be proud of drinking
It's beaten better men than you.


Lately I've been thinking
There's so much to see
I won't be proud of drinking
It's beaten better men than me.

Tim Freedman, Don't Be Proud.

    I wonder if this means he's growing up.

    I do like the intertextuality of Freedman's songs. Here's a line from a Whitlams song, Unreliable... this must almost be a bookend of that...

    There's a girl I know
    I want to take her around the world
    But she's so unreliable
    She's so unreliable

    And it would be my luck
    She only likes me when she gets drunk
    And lately she's been thinking
    Of giving up drinking
