THE WHITLAMS - ROYAL IN THE AFTERNOON lyrics

rate me

I won't drink, I won't smoke

Won't get home at a hundred o'clock

Nobody goin' to satisfy me

Except you and the baby and the colour TV

I was always in my prime

Now I'm falling over the line

They boys are sad to have to let me go

But you got it all to get me home

'Cause you quiet me down

I been all over the place and I ain't found anyone

Can keep my feet on the ground, no

We can be bigger than my old habits

Over my dead body but still

If I am awake in the morning

We'll be royal in the afternoon

You'll be the Queen and I'll be the mad King of it all

The words of a drunk fade with the light

Satan delivers and the goods are alright

He's at home now counting the dough

I'm standing here for another last throw

We can be bigger than my old habits

Over my dead body but still

If I am awake in the morning

We'll be royal in the afternoon
