Intro

Verse

Won't drink, won't smoke

Won't get home at a hundred o'clock

Nobody's going 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

The boys are sad to have let me go

But you got it all to get me home

Pre-chorus

You quiet me down

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

Keep my feet on the ground, no

Chorus

Can we 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

(You'll be the queen, I'll be the king of it all)

Verse

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

Chorus

Can we 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

Solo in / over

Chorus

Can we 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

(You'll be the queen, I'll be the mad king of it all

Royal in the afternoo-oo-oon...)
