The Drunks Know Best
Half nine in the night time
Hitting up the street with my guitar and my mic, amplified
Got myself wrapped up for the cold night
Suddenly to passer-by's I'm a low life
But not to everybody, some will stop by
And have a chat and have a laugh and it's a good vibe
Stick some change in my case and they'll make way
Give a smile, say goodbye and a handshake
And I'll sing away to all the greats
I'll get a crowd of folk and nobody complains
Except that one guy steaming out his face
Stepping up to me to tell me to stop playing
The drunks know best, the drunks know best
The drunks know best, the drunks know
The drunks know best, the drunks know
They say that they'll keep me right
The drunks know best, the drunks know best
The drunks know best, the drunks know
The drunks know best, the drunks know
They say that they'll keep me right
Well, Emma, thirty-three, says she knows a lot about me
Just by looking at the clothes and the guitar that I'm holding
She says I'm homeless and I'm roaming for my next fix
Says she's seen it all before and she resents it
Even said she'll give me ten quid
If I go and get my shit together
I said sure thing, for definite
Please give me as much money as you can, miss
For I am really broke and really need this
Slips some money in my pocket and she's gone-go
That's me laughing for the night, now I just made doe
The drunks know best, the drunks know best
The drunks know best, the drunks know
The drunks know best, the drunks know
They say that they'll keep me right
The drunks know best, the drunks know best
The drunks know best, the drunks know
The drunks know best, the drunks know
They say that they'll keep me right
End of the night and it's quite just a pretty sight
Love and drama, panorama and it's all fine
Met some pretty faces I hope that I'll see again
Except they'll wake up in the morning and they'll forget
Crowds passing really fast to get some place
They just came from the clubs and now they'll make pace
To get some food and hit the queue for the taxi home
Got a lover by their side, it's been a good show
Lots of crews stagger by 'cause the pubs closed
Ready to make a move and get to the casino
The drunks know best, the drunks know best
The drunks know best, the drunks know
The drunks know best, the drunks know
They say that they'll keep me right
The drunks know best, the drunks know best
The drunks know best, the drunks know
The drunks know best, the drunks know
They say that they'll keep me right
They say that they'll keep me right
They say that they'll keep me right
They say that they'll keep me right
I don't think they'll keep me right
They say that they'll keep me right
They say that they'll keep me right
They say that they'll keep me right
I don't think they'll keep me right
They say that they'll keep me right
They say that they'll keep me right
They say that they'll keep me right
I don't think they'll keep me right
Hitting up the street with my guitar and my mic, amplified
Got myself wrapped up for the cold night
