Ain't Gonna Take Your Bait! - Sun in Sagittarius♐ Release

However hard we try to stay 'clean' socialising can make it much harder, and so one drug often led to another drug for 'Party Freeman'!
Guess we all have our vices...
What are yours?

lyrics

Got down to the beach one day
met a friend of mine and started to play
songs of freedom and the mood was cool I have to say

Then he took out a bottle of port
I was on the wagon, or so I thought
but he poured out a little glass that came my way

I said “...I ain't gonna take your bait!
Mr. Alcohol is gonna have to wait,
I ain't gonna take your bait, that's what I say
Ah well maybe just a little shot,
at least it ain't as bad as smokin' all that pot
but then I ain't gonna take more bait, no more today...”

Well, the bottle kept slippin' down
The melodies were swirlin' all around and around
I started fighting off the thought that a spliff would be cool

Then he rolled up a little joint
and this is where I get right down to the point
He took a drag and passed it over to this poor weak fool

I said “...I ain't gonna take your bait!
Mr. Marijuana's gonna have to wait,
I ain't gonna take your bait, no time soon
Ah well maybe just a little toke,
what's the harm in havin' just a little smoke
but then I ain't gonna take more bait, all afternoon...”

We kept playin' as the sun went down
I'm feelin' mellow in my dressin' gown
I guess the weed was helpin' with the chilled out mood

Then another troubadour came by
he chopped up and he laid down some lines!
Rolled a note, took a hit and passed it on to me

I said “...I ain't gonna take your bait!
Mr. Charlie Powder's gonna have to wait,
I ain't gonna take your bait, it's way too strong,
Ah well maybe just a little snort,
and maybe wash it down with a little of that port
but then I ain't gonna take more bait, all night long...”

By now I was pretty mashed!
I wondered what would next be offered out of his stash
So much for stayin' clean, that didn't last long...

And then a little honey came strollin' by,
I had had my eye on her for quite some time, and
She gave me a lovely smile and my mind was gone...

I said “...I ain't gonna take your bait!
You little Sexy Mama gonna have to wait,
I ain't gonna take your bait, get outta my sight,
Ah well maybe just a little pash,
(as long as I don't end up with a nasty little rash!)
but then I ain't gonna take more bait, no more tonight...”

But I did kinda take her bait
and the rest of my life began to have to wait
and I kept takin' her bait, that much is true

Yeah she distracted me good...
and I ain't been doin' half the things I know that I should now
Cos I been takin' that bait, my whole life through...
