Mudmen - Home for A Rest Lyrics
We arrived in December and London was coldSo we stayed in the bars along Charring cross roadWe never saw nothing but brass taps and oakKept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coatsYou'll have to excuse me I'm not at my bestI've been gone for a month, I been drunk since I leftThese so called vacations won't soon be my deathI'm so sick of the drink, I need home for a restEaston station the train journeyed northAnd in the buffet car we lurched back and forthPassed odd crooked dykes and through Yorkshire's green fieldWe where flung into dance as the train jigged and reeledChorusBy the light of the moon she'd drift through the streetsA rare old perfume so seductive and sweetShe teased us and flirt as the pubs all closed downThen walk us on home and deny us a roundChorusThe gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tombAnd the spirits we drank are now ghosts in the roomI'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soonAnd don't lift up my head till the twelve bells of noonChorus out
