Jerrycan
A jerrycan (also written as jerry can or jerrican) was originally a robust fuel container made from pressed steel. It was designed in Germany in the 1930s for military use to hold 20 litres (4.4 imp gal; 5.3 US gal) of fuel. The development of the jerrycan was a significant improvement on earlier designs, which required tools and funnels to use. Today similar designs are used for fuel and water containers, some of which are also produced in plastic. The designs usually emulate the original steel design and are still known as jerrycans.
Uses
Uses for the cans have expanded beyond the original intended use of carrying fuel. Today, a can's use is denoted by its colouring, and occasionally, imprinted labelling on the container itself. This is to prevent contamination of the can's contents by mixing different fuels or mixing fuel with water.
An interesting use of jerrycan is seen in folk music of Chitral, a remote area in the KPK region of Pakistan, where it has a central role as a drum. As the jerrycan is no longer manufactured or not manufactured from pressed steel (which had unique acoustics) this historical part of "Khowar" music is slowly being eliminated from Chitral's culture.

One Last Kiss
by: JerrycanDown and lost again,
intetions through the door.
Eyes now with some red
It's swollen evermore.
Vision fading fast
You are what I picked.
Said I lost again
That you would have stayed
you would have stayed
Don't turn your head so hard
or all your dreams might slip away
You're just like me.
I already said too much
And I was on my knees.
It's on and on again
Nothing new this day
Take your bottles down
Maybe you should have stayed
you said I lost again
then you would have stayed
You would have stayed
don't turn your head so hard
or all your dreams might slip away
you're just like me
And when I look in your eyes
It's not what I wanna see
But it's all I'll have
And I want a starry night
To push you screaming out of my head
For one last kiss
Just give me one last kiss
Just give me one last kiss
Down and lost again
Intentions through the door
Eyes now with some red
Swollen evermore
Vision fading fast
You I would have picked
Said I lost again
And then you would have stayed
I would have stayed
don't turn your head so hard
or all your dreams might slip away
you're just like me
And when I look in your eyes
It's not what I wanna see
But it's all I'll have
And I want a starry night
To push you screaming out of my head
for one last kiss
Just give me one last kiss
