About Alcoholism. The song references several different brands of whiskey, namely Royal Canadian, Wild Turkey, Arbourler and Jameson.

A flash based video was made for this song which features Bellamy. Sober also featured in Gran Turismo.

Three versions of the song have been recorded, including a slightly different version on the Muscle Museum EP and an older recording from the Newton Abbot demo.[1] Few changes were made to the songs after it was first recorded.

Lyrics

Royal Canadian blended
The spicy aroma had mended me
Matured for years and imported
Into my glass you poured it
And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me

You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me 
'cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me

Wild Turkey's been chosen
Its caramel nose can smell me
Arbourler, Jameson I love you
The single malts come burning
And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me

You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me 
'cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me.

Royal Canadian blended
The spicy aroma had mended me
And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me

You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me 'cause you're so solid
It burns inside me 

Alternative lyrics (demo)

Instead of

Royal Canadian blended
The spicy aroma has mended me

In the last verse, the lyric is

Arbourler, Jameson I love you
The single malts come burning

Alternative lyrics (Live)

Instead of

Arbourler, Jameson I love you
The single malts come burning

In the second verse, the lyric is

It's running wild through my brain vein
Only hatred remains
