2220 - Hard to be good

Felt good today - because again I'm clean
There's nothing in the blood that shouldn't be
For the second night running I have been
Drinking non-alcoholic, just coffee
Tonight, last night, lime cordial - both yummy
Enough for me. And though walking right through
Manchester on the way home, revelry
All around, clouds of smoke and not a few
Full hostelries with barely a spare pew
Even on a wet Wednesday, this loud scene
Although it swayed me, didn't betray me
I thought, I feel good, and I'll continue
In this clean vein one more day. So I'm being
Good to myself, though it's quite hard, strangely
