lyrics

On a cold winter night
Mother gave birth to me
Sometime way back in the last century

Born into hunger
Mortar and bricks
Born on the wrong side of the river Styx

There’s only one way out
If you want to escape from the dale
Put your foot on the gas and the wind in your sail

Head north of the border
You can take what you find
Where the accent is strange but the people are kind

Hang up the phone
You've got your heart broke
It’s just one of the many cigarettes I have smoked

When you're down on the bottom
It's a question of faith
Got the dole in your hand, now go get your eighth

It's a curious thing
When your dream comes true
It's just never the way you expected it to

It comes with a punch in the gut
It comes with a sweet tender kiss
Sometimes you think that God he's just taking the piss

Have kids of your own
Find happiness unbound
But careful they're sleeping so don't make a sound

Take the applause
For some lines that you spoke
It’s just one of the many cigarettes I have smoked

Find someone who loves you
Settle down for a while
You can move on its easy you just break someone's smile

Put your feet on the sofa
And just settle back
It's a matter of time before you crack

Yeah, you can take a vacation
Yes, you can go down and lay in the sun
You never know what you might stumble upon

Go visit the Goddess
She's taking her bath
You can ask her to help you if she needs a laugh

Inhale deep
Careful now not to choke
On one of the many cigarettes I have smoked
