Turn Out the Light, Pull Down the Blind

Can someone give me complete lyrics (& proper title) to something I once heard long ago, and of which I remember only the tune and the chorus, which runs:

Turn out the light, pull down the blind,
I'm all hung over, I need peace of mind.
There's thunder in my head, and the sky is turning black.
Last night I hit the bottle, and today - it hit me back.

Sorry not to be furnishing more to go on.

It's called "Switch Out The Sun", recorded by Bread, Love and Dreams in the early seventies, written by David McNiven of Edinburgh who also wrote the theme tune for Rab C. Nesbit. There's an earlier thread on this somewhere here. Tich.
