This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs. Jeff Buckley done a good cover of this too.

But thats the point...he wanted water, but got none...there is no water drunk...he got gasoline to drink...this has not been mentioned... no repitition of beverages was commited...Edited due to repetition ( water had already been done and wine is wine regardless of colour or expense )
If one gets edited for trying to be clever, then this is one hell of a sad place to be
why bourbon and wiskey twice...WTF!

I wasn't trying to be harsh but as i said water had been mentioned already and gasoline isn't a beverage is it ? the post containing whiskey etc also contained beer which was why i let it stay.
Where do you draw the line ? yes it's meant to be fun but without rules it would be chaos i play under the assumption that the person who choose the current list has the final say ( in this case me
) and would accept any other members decision that was made on inclusion in their list/s.However the last thing i want to do is upset people so as this was meant to be your turn anyway why not re add the song at 15 and choose the next list

Schusch! Take each others hands and join me in a nice song "We shall overcome ..."
Hey, fellas, this is a game, though sticking to the rules is a good idea though.
However a "no repeat" rule arises some questions like, is beer = lager, ale, stout, porter? An wot about whiskey? Bourbon is that whiskey?
Is claret the same as white wine?
On the other hand, there should be loads of songs with various drinkable drinks. Haven't anyone tried Love Potion No9??

I extended the olive branch magnus ( edit on my post )
Wih regard to beer being lager bourbon being whiskey etc then no ... for the purpose of the list a different name was required so although yes there may be a huge difference between white / red wine but if the title just says wine then it's a repeat .

The We shall overcome, is a joke over here in Sweden and excuse for for OT, but I must share this great story.
Citizens in a Stokholm suburb were upset because of "something" and a few state secretaries went there and met with the upset people trying to find out what caused the uproar.
During the meeting, when the prime minister tried to explain something he really didn't understand himself people got too upset and noisy so the home office secretary tried to calm people down by suggesting a song - We Shall Overcome ...
That didn't go as she planned.
We Shall Overcome .. or maybe not??!!
