Royal In The Afternoon
Won't drink, won't smoke
Won't get home at a hundred o'clock
Nobody 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
The boys are sad to have 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
Can 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
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
Can 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
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
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
You'd be the queen, (something)
Royal in the Afternoon

We can be bigger than my old habits

If I am awake in the morning

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
You'd be the queen, (something)
