Home For A Rest Lyrics - Spirit Of The West

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 

These so-called vacations will soon be my death 

I'm so sick from the drink I need home for a rest. 

We arrived in December and London was cold 

We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road 

We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak 

Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats 

CHORUS: 

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best 

I've been gone for a week 

I've been drunk since I left 

And these so-called vacations 

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 

In the buffet car we lurched back and forth 

Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields 

We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled 

- CHORUS - 

By the light of the moon, she'd drift through the streets 

A rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet 

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 so-called vacations 

Will soon be my death 

I'm so sick from the drink 

I need home for a rest 

Take me home...

The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb 

The spirits we drank now ghosts in the room 

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 

And these so-called vacations 

Will soon be my death 

I'm so sick from the drink 

I need home for a rest 

Take me home...
