[00:00.00]Home For A Rest - Spirit of the West
[00:07.29]Written by：Kelly/Mann
[00:14.58]You'll have to excuse me I'm not at my best
[00:21.57]I've been gone for a month I've been drunk since I left
[00:29.31]These socalled vacations will soon be my death
[00:36.30]I'm so sick from the drink I need home for a rest
[00:46.12]We arrived in December and London was cold
[00:49.85]We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road
[00:53.65]We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
[00:57.08]Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats
[01:00.88]You'll have to excuse me I'm not at my best
[01:04.27]I've been gone for a week
[01:06.02]I've been drunk since I left
[01:07.60]And these socalled vacations
[01:10.06]Will soon be my death
[01:11.62]I'm so sick from the drink
[01:13.34]I need home for a rest
[01:15.11]Take me home
[01:23.26]Euston Station the train journey North
[01:26.27]In the buffet car we lurched back and forth
[01:29.87]Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields
[01:33.24]We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled
[01:36.96]You'll have to excuse me I'm not at my best
[01:40.54]I've been gone for a month
[01:42.36]I've been drunk since I left
[01:44.00]And these socalled vacations
[01:46.20]Will soon be my death
[01:47.82]I'm so sick from the drink
[01:49.65]I need home for a rest
[01:51.46]Take me home
[02:07.82]By the light of the moon she'd drift through the streets
[02:11.42]A rare old perfume so seductive and sweet
[02:15.12]She'd tease us and flirt as the pubs all closed down
[02:18.49]Then walk us on home and deny us a round
[02:22.27]You'll have to excuse me I'm not at my best
[02:25.72]I've been gone for a month
[02:27.41]I've been drunk since I left
[02:29.09]And these socalled vacations
[02:31.40]Will soon be my death
[02:32.97]I'm so sick from the drink
[02:34.83]I need home for a rest
[02:36.60]Take me home
[02:43.93]The gas heater's empty it's damp as a tomb
[02:47.52]The spirits we drank now ghosts in the room
[02:51.23]I'm knackered again come on sleep take me soon
[02:54.71]And don't lift up my head 'till the the twelve bells at noon
[02:58.39]You'll have to excuse me I'm not at my best
[03:01.93]I've been gone for a month
[03:03.67]I've been drunk since I left
[03:05.25]And these socalled vacations
[03:07.63]Will soon be my death
[03:09.24]I'm so sick from the drink
[03:10.97]I need home for a rest
[03:12.84]Take me home
