Biography:
Del Amitri are a guitar-driven pop rock band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980, internationally known for the 1995 melodic rock hit "Roll to Me". They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name.

STONE COLD SOBER - Del Amitri
Intro:
D5 -
A5 -
F#5 - B5 - A5
F#5
Everybody in the funhouse
B5 A5
says they want out
F#5
But we’re taking our time
B5 A5
’cos we’re in love with the time
F#5
Whole generations
B5 A5
thinking of themselves as infidels and pop stars
F#5
While the bomb loses patience,
B5 A5
we line up and just lean against the bar
Chorus:
A
Stone cold sober
E Dsus2
looking for bottles of love
A
Stone cold sober
E Dsus2
looking for bottles of love
F#5
Caught in the headlights
B5 A5
Wide-eyed and ready to receive
F#5
We are the dead life,
B5 A5
locked in dogfights, lost in disbelief
F#5
And these dark days
B5 A5
make the nights seem brighter than they are
F#5
So while fleet street rolls and the
B5 A5
moon glows in the funhouse, the fun starts
Chorus:
A
Stone cold sober
E Dsus2
looking for bottles of love, we’re
A
Stone cold sober
E Dsus2
looking for bottles of love, love
F#5 B5 - A5
Lo - ve
F#5
We are the dead life,
B5 A5
we are the dead life So c’mon, c’mon

(G) F#5
Born in the half-light
B5
of threats and bribes
A5
in a hopeless porn parade
F#5
We get the dog’s life
B5 A5
titbits train us what to wear, what not to say.
F#5
When you’re footloose and
B5 A5
you just feel limbless, life gets in the way
F#5
So we get loaded or
B5 A5
totally legless but stay the same
Chorus:
A
Stone cold sober
E Dsus2
looking for bottles of love we’re

Stone cold sober

looking for bottles of love, love

We’re (stone cold sober)
