《Home For A Rest》歌词

[00:00:00] Home For A Rest - Wild Colonial Bhoys

[00:00:14] You'll have to excuse me

[00:00:17] I'm not at my best

[00:00:20] I've been gone for a month

[00:00:23] I've been drunk since I left

[00:00:27] These so called vacations will soon be my death

[00:00:33] I'm so sick from the drink

[00:00:36] I need home for a rest

[00:00:43] We arrived in December and London was cold

[00:00:47] We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road

[00:00:50] We never saw nothing but brass taps and oak

[00:00:54] Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats

[00:00:57] You'll have to excuse me

[00:00:59] I'm not at my best

[00:01:01] I've been gone for a week

[00:01:03] I've been drunk since I left

[00:01:04] And these so called vacations

[00:01:07] Will soon be my death

[00:01:08] I'm so sick from the drink

[00:01:10] I need home for a rest

[00:01:12] Take me home

[00:01:20] Euston Station the train journey North

[00:01:23] In the buffet car we lurched back and forth

[00:01:26] Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields

[00:01:29] We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled

[00:01:33] You'll have to excuse me

[00:01:35] I'm not at my best

[00:01:37] I've been gone for a week

[00:01:38] I've been drunk since I left

[00:01:40] These so called vacations will soon be my death

[00:01:44] I'm so sick from the drink

[00:01:46] I need home for a rest

[00:02:04] By the light of the moon

[00:02:06] She'd drift through the streets

[00:02:07] A rare old perfume

[00:02:09] So seductive and sweet

[00:02:11] She'd tease us and flirt

[00:02:13] As the pubs all closed down

[00:02:15] Then walk us on home and deny us a round

[00:02:18] You'll have to excuse me

[00:02:20] I'm not at my best

[00:02:22] I've been gone for a month

[00:02:23] I've been drunk since I left

[00:02:25] And these so called vacations

[00:02:27] Will soon be my death

[00:02:29] I'm so sick from the drink

[00:02:31] I need home for a rest

[00:02:32] Take me home

[00:02:40] The gas heater's empty

[00:02:42] It's damp as a tomb

[00:02:43] The spirits we drank now ghosts in the room

[00:02:47] I'm knackered again come on sleep take me soon

[00:02:50] And don't lift up my head

[00:02:52] Till the twelve bells at noon

[00:02:54] You'll have to excuse me

[00:02:56] I'm not at my best

[00:02:58] I've been gone for a month

[00:02:59] I've been drunk since I left

[00:03:01] And these so called vacations

[00:03:03] Will soon be my death

[00:03:05] I'm so sick from the drink

[00:03:07] I need home for a rest
