The Last Drink Lyrics

carrying your ashes from bar to bar
i'm in a mess and you're in a mason jar
and you're under my arm like a football
i'm not ready to let go and that is all
you were never big on conversation
and that hasn't changed since your cremation

and i feel most times like you do
you know i feel most times like you do

i wish that i was hard nosed
fight a forest fire with a garden hose
and be brave enough right now
to start on something new

you were right there in the ern
light as a feather
if my hands weren't shaking i'd
glue you back together
this watering whole was our favourite stop
so i'll take off the lid and pour a drink down the top
for you and i'll pull down on that magic lever that
makes it stay the past forever

and i feel most times like you do
you know i feel most times like you do

someone stabbed my voodoo doll
now it hurts each time that nature calls
and you're lucky that natures finished calling out to you

you were down to your very last
little belt loop but you were
tougher than a pittbull in the paratroops
and if you're afraid of getting hurt
to suffer more ills
like the hypochondric that died choking on his pills
so i should swallow real hard and deal with this pain
cuz i'm as wasted as a neat freak in a hurricane

and I feel most times like you do
you know i feel most times like you do

I thought i was the one that died
it just was heavens weird amusement ride
but you pinched me in my dream
and i saw it wasn't true

so i'm dumping your ashes on the floor
Im gonna laugh as people slip on you
while coming in this door
and i'll drink on what you said
to stop my feet dragging
no one dogs bark should ever stop the wagon

The band named "Odds" was formed in Vancouver in 1987 by Craig Northey (vocals, guitar), Steven Drake (guitar, vocals), Doug Elliott (bass) and Paul Brennan (drums). The band played frequently in Los Angeles and later signed to Zoo Records. The album Neopolitan appeared in 1991; it was followed by "Bedbugs", which featured the radio hit "Heterosexual Man." In 1996 the band released "Good Weird Feeling" which went platinum in their native Canada. Paul Brennan left the group, Pat Steward (drums) joined the band. "Nest" followed in 1997 and had a US top 40 hit with "Someone Who Is Cool." In March 1999, Northey left the band to pursue a solo career. During their 8 year hiatus Odds members appeared on albums for Colin James, Northey Valenzuela (with Jesse Valenzuela of Gin Blossoms), Matthew Good, Bryan Adams and Strippers Union (with Rob Baker of the Tragically Hip). Northey performed and recorded film and TV scores for comedy troupe "Kids in the Hall".

In 2007 the former members, minus Steven Drake and adding Murray Atkinson (guitar) reformed under the name "The New Odds", whose MySpace page claimed the new group sounds "a little bit like Odds only not quite." The album Cheerleader was issued by the band under this name. By 2009 the band moved back to their original moniker "Odds"
