Alcohol

Oh greedy alcohol, you take me Parade me around these grubby streets Shake me The joy you seem to take turning me into a fake Like a plastic cherry on a cardboard plate So, roll out the barrel, tonight I've had my fill I've emptied both my pockets in the barmaids till Mouths hanging sideways, open out into the street Cigarettes, matches, un-coordinated feet There's door fulls of winos In the learning London light And for the crowds of sightseers I make quite a sight Reeling sideways downwards Take a picture of me Of all the tourist sights I'm a sight to see It's clear, it's clear as mud It's in, it's in my blood I come from a long line Whose only fear is closing time Alcohol No more alcohol, oh No more alcohol, yeah, yeah No more alcohol On and for the fifth time tonight You are sliding down But you won't stop there You start falling through the ground Will he make it? Ha But he's up, hey, hey, he's Cassius Clay Throwing rights and lefts, they're coming every way Mistaking lampposts for boys and girls Yeah, single handedly, taking on the world It's clear, it's clear as mud It's in, it's in my blood I come from a long line Whose only fear is closing time It's clear, it's clear as mud It's in, it's in my blood I come from a long line Whose only fear is closing time (Oh greedy alcohol, you've taken the lot We were having such a good time You don't know when to stop) (No) No more alcohol (Rum, Pernod, Pink Gin, he'll drink anything So long as his troubles disappear) Same again Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol Would you like to dance? Yeah, I'm only here for the beer
