All The Cigarettes I Have Smoked

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
