Licensing Hours Lyrics

I'm sick and tired of having my drink snatched out of my hand
You're enough to make a placid person into an angry man
Well, I don't listen to you
You can stand behind me breathing down my back

Chorus:
Well I ain't drunk yet
But you're a pain in the neck
I said something's gonna happen
In these licensing hours

I realise this ain't a doss house
And I do have a home to go to
But you see my friends agree with me
When I say I've had enough of you
You've got your job to do, but you're ruthless too
And you'll damn well make sure it's done

Chorus:
Well I ain't drunk yet
But you're a pain in the neck
I said something's gonna happen
In these licensing hours

We love your licensing hours
La,la,la,licensing hours
Yes we do, yes we do, yes we do oh yes we do

Give me your glasses, I want your glasses
Give me your glasses now
Give me your glasses, I want your glasses
Give them to me then get out
Well I don't listen to you, you can stand behind me breathing down my back

Chorus:
Well I ain't drunk yet
But you're a pain in the neck
I said something's gonna happen
In these licensing hours

It's really hard to restrain yourself
When you're being dragged out of the door
And It's hard to be drunk and disorderly
When they won't serve you anymore
Spend the night in a cell, all for the sake of a bell
That you didn't hear anyway

Chorus:
Well I ain't drunk yet
But you're a pain in the neck
I said something's gonna happen
In these licensing hours
