Sia – Drink To Get Drunk (Different Gear Mix)
Sia Kate Isobelle Furler is a Golden Globe nominated performer who is most known for her single “Breathe Me”. In 2000, the Adelaide born singer scored a bolt from the blue Top 10 hit with her debut single, Taken for Granted. Pairing her unique Australian drawl with the strident strings from Sergei Prokofiev’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’, the track was championed by Trevor Nelson and had Sia performing live on Jo Whiley’s Radio 1 show.
Different Gear (real names: Gino Scaletti & Quinn Whalley) started life in a vat of formaldehyde in the year 1999. A considerable number of activities were undertaken and interrupted at once since the protagonists could barely make up their mind as if to complete the tasks presented to them or to levigate the bathroom floor instead.
Verse 1
Eat food to satisfy my hunger
I drink water to quench my thirst
Use my mouth and air to blow balloon up
And prick with pin to watch it burst
To make noise I use my breathe
To unlock doors I use a key
When I’m looking for something I use my eyes
Use booze to unlock me
Chorus
Sweep so I can sleep (x2)
Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep
Verse 2
Wear shoes so I can run
As to avoid the broken glass
Wear the pants because they suit me
And to discourage the pinchin’ of ass
I’ll tell a joke to make you laugh
I’ll close the door to have a cry
They say that change and pain is a positive thing
Have I changed since you died
Chorus
Sweep so I can sleep (x2)
Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep
Verse 3
Don’t ask my why I smoke I don’t know
But I drink to get drunk (x4)
