Achilles Lung |
Stop trying to pretend that you are going to stop |
You’re either a smoker or you’re not |
You will keep on smoking for the rest of your life |
And then you’ll get cancer and then you’ll die |
I can stop whenever I please and anyway |
I’m immune to emphysema and heart disease |
My diary says tomorrow is the day I quit |
And I’m going to stick with that |
I’ll work my way down to the end of this pack |
And then I’m leaving this place and I’m never coming back again |
Little itches need no stitches but they bury you |
If you keep on scratching you’ll go right through |
Whiskey for the amputee is just the thing to ease the sting |
I’ll work my way down to the end of this pack |
And then I’m leaving this place and I’m never coming back again |
I’ve got a list of things to get round to |
I’ve got a list of all the things I shouldn’t do |
I know it by heart |
I’ve got the damn thing in my pocket |
But despite myself it’s the middle of the night and I am round at your house |
again |
Trying to pretend that I am going to stop |
I’m either a smoker or I’m not |
You will keep on smoking for the rest of my life |
And don’t I know it: |
My favourite fatal weakness |
I’ll work my way down to the end of this pack |
And then I’m leaving this place and I’m never coming back again |
I’ll work my way down to the end of this pack |
And then I’m leaving this place and I’m never coming back |
I’ll see you around, somewhere in town |
Or next time I’m down, probably right here |
