London Has Made Me (An Alcoholic) Video (MV)

The bars are set up for the night, It's already 5pm
I am feeling kinda dizzy from forgotten nights and days
Aching bones are cracking with every step I make
The only thing that keeps me up is my sinking, my sinking sense of shame

Fill me up, give me a hug, I gotta move on quick
I feel relieved, I feel alive and the meds are kicking in.
Three pints down, ten more to go at the edges of this town
Beer's a quid cheaper here, so I might save a hundred pounds

So I am stumbling and rumbling
I am a king without a crown
From Waterloo to Soho to good ol' Camden Town
Screaming into darkest nights
"We never shined so bright"
All I really see is just another, another traffic light

Life is full of losses and anger and defeats
So I am drowning all my sorrow to get rid of old routines
I've seen them all, the lost and found, fallen and the frauds
From Westminster to Whitechapel
From Brixton to each and every bar

So I am stumbling and rumbling
I am a king without a crown
From Waterloo to Soho to good ol' Camden Town
Screaming into darkest nights
"We never shined so brigh!t"
All I really see is just another, another traffic light

The bars are open for the day
It's already 10 am
I've forgotten what just happened
So I do it all again
But no time for hard feelings, and no time to regret
They say home is where the heart is
So I leave my liver in the Thames
