Home For A Rest Lyrics

CHORUS:

you'll have to excuse me, i'm not at my best

i've been gone for a month

i've been drunk since i left

there so-called vacations

will soon be my death

i'm so sick from teh drink

i need home for a rest

we arrived in  december and london was cold

so we stayed in thebars

along charing cross  road

we  never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak

kept a shine on the bar

with the sleeves of our coats

-chorus-

euston station the train journey north

in the buffet  car we lurched back and forth

past odd crooked dykes

through yorkshire's green fields

we were  flung into dance

as the train jigged and reeled

you'll have to excuse me, i'm not at my best

i've been gone for a month

i've been drunk since i left

there so-called vacations

will soon be my death

i'm so sick from teh drink

i need home for a rest

take me home....

by the light of the moon  she'd drift through the streets

a rare old perfume so seductive and sweet

she'd tease us and flirt as the pubs all  closed down

then walk us on home and deny us a round

-chorus-

the gas heater's empty, it's  damp as a tomb

and the spirits we drank are not ghosts in the room

i'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon

and don't lift up my head

'till the the twelve bells at noon

you'll have to excuse me, i'm not at my best

i've been gone for a month

i've been drunk since i left

there so-called vacations

will soon be my death

i'm so sick from teh drink

i need home for a rest

take me home....
