Royal In the Afternoon

Won't drink, won't smoke

Won't get home at a hundred o'clock

Nobody's goin' to satisfy me

Except you and the baby and the colour TV

I was always in my prime

Now I'm falling over the line

They boys are sad to have to let me go

But you got it all to get me home

You quiet me down

I been all over the place and I ain't found anyone

Keep my feet on the ground, no

We can be bigger than my old habits

Over my dead body but still

If I am awake in the morning

We'll be royal in the afternoon (Royal in the afternoon)

You'll be the Queen and I'll be the mad King of it all

The words of a drunk fade with the light

Satan delivers and the goods are alright

He's at home now counting the dough

I'm standing here for another last throw

You quiet me down

I been all over the place and I ain't found anyone

Keep my feet on the ground, no

We can be bigger than my old habits

Over my dead body but still

And if I am awake in the morning

We'll be royal in the afternoon (Royal in the afternoon)

We can be bigger than my old habits

Over my dead body but still

And if I am awake in the morning

We'll be royal in the afternoon (Royal in the afternoon)

We can be bigger than my bad habits

Over my dead body but still

And if I am awake in the morning

We'll be royal in the afternoon (Royal in the afternoon)

You'll be the Queen and I'll be the mad King of it all
