No More Alcohol - Suggs

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
