Lyrics

Excesses

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've cracked enough jokes

And I've smoked enough smokes

Now I'm feeling for the ropes

I hope no one took notes

My excesses are getting the better of me

I'm ready to go home

My excesses are getting the better of me

I'm ready to go home

I try not to notice that I've spilt my drink

As I slide towards the door

I start to think

My excesses are getting the better of me

I'm ready to go home

My excesses are getting the better of me

I'm ready to go home

I was lecturing the kitchen

'Til the icebox got bored

And where's that girl gone

I was sure I'd scored

My excesses are getting the better of me

I'm ready to go home

My excesses are getting the better of me

I'm ready to go home

I was sure I'd scored

My excesses are getting the better of me

I'm ready to go home

My excesses are getting the better of me

I'm ready to go home
