You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
These soI've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
I'm so sick from the drink I need home for a rest. We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road
We arrived in December and London was cold
We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a week
And these soI've been drunk since I left
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink I need home for a rest
Take me home.
Euston Station the train journey North
Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields
In the buffet car we lurched back and forth
We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled A rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet
By the light of the moon, she'd drift through the streets
She'd tease us and flirt, as the pubs all closed down
Then walk us on home and deny us a round 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
And these soWill soon be my death
Take me home.
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest The spirits we drank now ghosts in the room
The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
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
Will soon be my death
And these soTake me homeI need home for a rest
I'm so sick from the drink.
