They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.

Summer Wine

I walked town on silver spurs that jingled too
A song that I had only sang to just a few
Ahe saw my silver spurs and set let pass the time and
I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
Strawberries cherries and angels kiss in spring
My summer wine is realy made from all this things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not spek
I tried to get up but I couldnt find my feet
She reassutred me with an unfamilliar line
And thene she gives to me more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
Strawberries cherries and angels kiss in spring
My summer wine is realy made from all this things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes

As far as a cocktail, I do like good wines, basically with meals, and good champagnes.

Wine Red

Wine red
Like rose petals against the snow
Wine red
Like crimson apple pierced with an arrow

Wine red
Like blood emitting from the skin
Wine red
Like her ruby lipstick used for sin

Wine red
The drink that lovers share
Wine red
A drink to forget a nightmare

Like Snow White fooled
She ate the poison apple;
A death of beauty
But their dirty and wicked sins
Will be recovered with an enthusiastic fury

Stop Drinking

(Lightnin' Hopkins, additional lyrics by Van Morrison)
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
If you don't stop drinking that wine
It's gonna poison your mind
You gotta stop drinking that old wine sonny boy
You drink Champagne it's gonna be better for you
You drink Champagne it's gonna be better for you
Everybody's going out
Going out to enjoy
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
You drink whiskey just have a tiny wee drop
You drink whiskey just have a tiny wee drop
You drink whiskey have a tiny wee drop
'Cos you just don't know when to stop
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
You gotta stop, bop, bop, bop
Gotta stop, bop, bop, bop
You gotta stop drinking that wine sonny boy
Everybody else going out

The three tailors

I shall tell you in rhyme how, once on a time,
Three tailors tramped up to the inn Ingleheim,
On the Rhine, lovely Rhine;
They were broke, but the worst of it all, they were curst
With that malady common to tailors--a thirst
For wine, lots of wine.

"Sweet host," quoth the three, "we're hard up as can be,
Yet skilled in the practice of cunning are we,
On the Rhine, genial Rhine;
And we pledge you we will impart you that skill
Right quickly and fully, providing you'll fill
Us with wine, cooling wine."

But that host shook his head, and he warily said:
"Though cunning be good, we take money instead,
On the Rhine, thrifty Rhine;
If ye fancy ye may without pelf have your way
You'll find that there's both host and the devil to pay
For your wine, costly wine."

A Vindication

If heaven loved not the wine,
A Wine Star would not be in heaven;
If earth loved not the wine,
The Wine Spring would not be on the earth.
Since heaven and earth love the wine,
Need a tippling mortal be ashamed?
The transparent wine, I hear,
Has the soothing virtue of a sage,
While the turgid is rich, they say,
As the fertile mind of the wise.
Both the sage and the wise were drinkers,
Why seek for peers among gods and goblins?
Three cups open the grand door to bliss;
Take a jugful, the universe is yours.
Such is the rapture of the wine,
That the sober shall never inherit.

Rescue Soul From Darkness

The Flying birds and wild animal makes god noise with themselves pleasure
The trees in Ever green wood's blossom bloom for decorated history tale
The dame dropping water among boulder spreading dew every where
The august summer is ending ready for next season of via every people

Weep wiped widows and children of losing father by cruel war
Console from blowing mellows wind don't close door will have message heaven is near
If too vanishing all over world the sun will open name of hero at war
But the every war never wining only university which of could listen by murmur

We could looking by eyes and reaching without knowing which effect for life
All though listen from ear where is the truth every roads before look by eye
The tangible truth never dump every time fill up your ear without haste
All of heart of tie never demolish if we see in really true

Every one bless for you rescue soul from darkness before EVER sleeping
The power of everything see by our own memory never missing every thing
The good message by birds and wild animal will be coming true your are the wining
Flare memory for hospitality for society among having had short living

Will Have Message Heaven Is Near

The Flying birds and wild animal makes god noise with themselves pleasure
The trees in Ever green wood's blossom bloom for decorated history tale
The dame dropping water among boulder spreading dew every where
The august summer is ending ready for next season of via every people

Weep wiped widows and children of losing father by cruel war
Console from blowing mellows wind don't close door will have message heaven is near
If too vanishing all over world the sun will open name of hero at war
But the every war never wining only university which of could listen by murmur

We could looking by eyes and reaching without knowing which effect for life
All though listen from ear where is the truth every roads before look by eye
The tangible truth never dump every time fill up your ear without haste
All of heart of tie never demolish if we see in really true

Every one bless for you rescue soul from darkness before EVER sleeping
The power of everything see by our own memory never missing every thing
The good message by birds and wild animal will be coming true your are the wining
Flare memory for hospitality for society among having had short living

It Hurt Him

It hurt him when their hurt was big,
The play of wining the food was to dig,
As if dug were the drunkards,
Face it the dragging creatures
Came along with seasons
That mustard was too strong for the reasons.
It rehearsed the sinful looting of his life,
The stand of ill-treatment was like a knife.

Bottle Of Red Wine

(by bonnie bramlett and eric clapton)
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
I cant get up out of bed
With this crazy feeling in my head.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
You hear what I say?
Gonna love you anyway.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
I went to an all-night get together
And everyone I knew was there.
Had the love that would last forever.
Everywhere I looked, I saw you standing there.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
I cant get up out of bed
With this crazy feeling in my head.
I said get up right now, oh oh.

To Be Grapefull For The Wine Of The Vine.

Should i be grapefull for the wine of the vine? ...
Fun times romantic-That is fine-That is fine.

Cabernet? ...
Yum yum yum-
Shall we play?
Shall we play?
This fine wined and dined defined fine romantic day...

Fruit of the grape....
There just is no waylaid escape.

Drink but do not drive....
Cell phone detoured right of way.

Shall we make the innocent by life forfitted to pay? ...
Stay alive-Do naught drunkenly drive.

Life, Candle, and Wine

How much is too much a pain after pain,
In a tight fist can hold again and again;
On a prowling face, how long is too long,
For someone to suffer the agony of ageing;

Like a candle lives by the lit of its wick,
Slowly burning through dangers of wind,
Its soulful light will soon become weak,
To send scents of some kind to think;

A barrel of wine is sweeter when aged
To perfection in an excellent time;
To hold and wait is worth awhile
Of knowing how much is too much;

A life could trade from candles and wines,
By arithmetic lift of arrogance,
But life like candles will short-lived,
And all the wines will be emptied.
