Electric Jug - All The Cigarettes I Have Smoked 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

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
