One More

The bus was late so I got soaked to the skin again
Drowned from my head to my shins again
And though the bell tolls, my throat and toes are still so dry
The fucking bastards picked my lock and nicked my bike
Left me with a pump and light
The taxi's called but it could take a little while

One more for the road, sweet Jesus, one more to the road
Still dealing with anger and grievance, one more for the road

The baby gives us two hours average every night
Now I can't think left to right
but the sister freed us and we need this time to unwind
The budgie's lame so now it needs a leg or two
Plastic polymer blend in blue
The wife's at home, the fight's at home so I need more time

One more for the road, sweet Jesus, one more for the road
Still savouring a moment of peace, one more for the road

The pills do help but when it's cold like this, you know
Get a touch of frost in my hip and bones
The whiskey melts it and helps me feel like I can get by
The working days seem longer now I'm out of place
Can't keep up with trends my age
They say it's me but I just think it's everyone else

One more for the road, sweet Jesus, one more for the road
Still dealing with anger and grievance, one more for the road
Pay in card or cash if it's needed
Even Buckfast or Archers Peaches
So I can dance around like an eejit
Once more for the road, I'm pleading
One more for the road, one more for the road
One more for the road
