Mudmen - Home For A Rest lyrics

rate me

We arrived in December and London was cold<br />

So we stayed in the bars along Charring cross road<br />

We never saw nothing but brass taps and oak<br />

Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats<br />

<br />

You'll have to excuse me I'm not at my best<br />

I've been gone for a month, I been drunk since I left<br />

These so called vacations won't soon be my death<br />

I'm so sick of the drink, I need home for a rest<br />

<br />

Easton station the train journeyed north <br />

And in the buffet car we lurched back and forth<br />

Passed odd crooked dykes and through Yorkshire's green field <br />

We where flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

By the light of the moon she'd drift through the streets<br />

A rare old perfume so seductive and sweet<br />

She teased us and flirt as the pubs all closed down<br />

Then walk us on home and deny us a round<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb<br />

And the spirits we drank are now ghosts in the room<br />

I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon<br />

And don't lift up my head till the twelve bells of noon<br />

<br />

Chorus out
