This has its drunken moments:

I always have to laugh when I listen to this song. It reminds me of something Cor said in his Band on The Run microscope that struck me as funny:
"The Ho He Ho ending is too much for me. I've heard enough Ho He Ho's earlier on the album." ;D

A classic on drunkeness

...My girlfriends run off with my car, gone back to her ma and Pa, telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty!

Now I'm sitting here,
Sipping at my ice cold beer (even though it's only 9:00 in the morning)

The Who - Bell Boy
I always felt that Sea and Sand from Quadrophenia was a drunken song. And if I'm not mistaken, it corresponds to the last part of the text in the album, where Jimmy is drinking.
I always felt like this song told the story of my teenagerhood. :'(
To children of alcoholics everywhere:

I did not limit the theme to the lyrics, but also considered the sound and the way the song is sung. Keith Moon sounds like a drunken man in "Bell Boy" certainly.
I'm a big fan of the Who, but I still need to analyze more the plot of Quadrophenia. I payed much more attention to Tommy, but Quadrophenia has really grown on me lately.

It's an interesting thread, I think....and I'm glad to hear Quadrophenia has grown on you. To me, the plot and the songs communicate perfectly the essence of teenage angst. It's probably my favorite album.

I was just reading about this song not too long ago! Actually I was trying to find out who Lydia Pinkham was. I always see ads for Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound when I'm reading old newspapers and I wondered if she was real. She was and she was "honored" in an American drinking song ("The Ballad of Lydia Pinkham") because her "women's tonic" became a favorite of men too, especially during Prohibition in the US. It was 40 proof! I don't know if it really relieved women of their ailments but I'm sure it made them forget for a while! The title was changed and the lyrics cleaned up but the basic premise was unchanged.
