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, rollout 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 Learing London light And for the crouds 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!
Nnnno more alcohol, oh Nnnno more alcohol, yeah yeah No more alcohol
On and for the fifth time tonite 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 everyway Mistaking lamposts 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 T-I-I-I-IME (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
