Poured whiskey down my throat

The doors were all a-banging and I wished that I was dead
Then it was the customs they called their bloody dogs
First they went for booze of course then they looked for drugs
Stabbed a flashlight up my ass told us all their jokes
Sid fell over paddy so I've had it for the smoke on the Boat Train
