I used to drink. By that I mean I used to drink way too much than was good for me. This is a recollection of just one of those nights when I had done just that. I used to live off Mill Road in Cambridge so Lenfield Road was usually my route back out of town.

lyrics

I got nothing in my pockets but holes and fluff
Staggering round these streets cos I had enough
Like some burned out no-good Grifter when they called my bluff
Making my way back to you

This time of the night (or morning) there's nothing to do
Not a Taxi to be seen, couldn't pay him a Penny or a Sou
I take a leak beside a fence, cos I got to
Praying you'll tell me when I get home that we're not through

Taking it slow...
Just another drunk on Lensfield Road
One foot in front of the other and I'll get home
Somehow...

I remember laying on my back but not how I fell down
Face up to the pouring rain, Jesus took pity I didn't drown
I made it to my feet 'fore the cops came round
(Their place 'aint so far from here)

Made my way past store fronts and stone faced walls
And angry looking guys who didn't seem to have the balls
To turn over this drunken bum who didn't have nothing at all
Nothing at all worth taking - not even his dignity

Taking it slow...
Just another drunk on Lensfield Road
One foot in front of the other and I'll get home
I'll get home...I'll get home somehow
