Just thought of another that's great fun, and a bit of a Canadian drinking anthem. Spirit of the West - Home for a Rest (my first ever visit to London I made a point of having a pint on Charing Cross Rd because of this song):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPJD3qcIL7s

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
These so-called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest

We arrived in December and London was cold
We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road
We never saw nothin' but brass-taps and oak
Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a week, I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest
Take me home!

Euston Station, the train journey North
In the buffet car, we lurched back and forth
Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields
We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a week, I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest
Take me home!

By the light of the moon she'd drift through the streets
A rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet
She'd tease us and flirt as the pubs all close down
Then walk us on home, and deny us a round

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest
Take me home!

The gas heater's empty it's damp as a tomb
The spirits we drank, now ghosts in the room
I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon
And don't lift up my head till the twelve bells at noon

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left
And these so-called vacations will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest
Take me home!

I am aware of this. But the way Zep did it just felt very different.

So if you meet me have some courtesy,
Have some sympathy and some taste,
Use all your well earned politesse,
Or Ill lay your soul to waste

I don't know what you've done me
But I know this much is true,
I want do bad things with you.
Jace Everett

Guaranteed to get me in a good mood and dancing!


And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

That rocketed in popularity after True Blood aired.

One of my all time favourites:

"She's got a dress slit right up to her panties
Every time she's dancin' she knows what to do
Everybody wants to see, see if she can use it"
