Made available in digital format for the first time as part of the Natsukashii EP and as part of a stand alone digital single

lyrics

Fans pay homage, you got it all worked out and you’re clever
Payin for your food and rent on the never never.
And stealin’ from your mother
No money for clothes, so you take your brother’s
It’s not in your make up to stop leachin off people ever
Found face down floatin’ in the river, half assed inquiries said probable failure of the liver
Think they’ll launch a full investigation, never,
Even the experienced coroner said the sight of your body made him shiver
Debts mounted up to the wrong people, stories were feeble,
That’s what happens when you live every day for the needle
All you dealers that spend all day on the mobile, heard the rumour,
Keep usin’ these fuckin things you end up with a brain tumour
Oh stop, my eyes are fillin’ up, same way as they did for Leann Betts like I could give a fuck
Give ‘em drugs and create jobs for the construction boys,
Put ‘em in a fuckin compound with their Class A toys

CHORUS
Smoke filled rooms with a dance tune goin’ boom
Face as pale as the moon, death come soon
Crack babies lie in the womb, life already in ruin
Smack heads and speed freaks just add to the gloom
Pipe smokin’ philosophers only too keen to offer us, a piece of their mind,
But that could be hard to find
Pill poppin’ non stop talkin about the street robbin’
To get all the money to keep this party rockin’

Smoke filled rooms, ingestin’ fumes, it’s all good cos it grows natural and your mind’ll expand soon
Just think about the possibilities and not your soon to be demise
Dilated eyes tell me you’re ready to rise to another dimension
OK you’ll end up the leanest, but everyone’ll think you’re a music genius
Have you seen this, keep you up seventy two hours,
I can get you five of these today, we call it one nine five O DA
What else do you need us to say, named after the big rock that’ll blow the earth away
If you get too fucked up, don’t worry cos you go into rehab and the system will pay
What a great fuckin life for you and me, eh
Pound notes, needles and pipes, coloured pills and powder all night
Who says drugs kill, that ain’t right
What an exaggeration, or is that my imagination
Let’s get the buzz goin’ around this place tonight

CHORUS 2
Smoke filled rooms with a dance tune goin’ boom
Face as pale as the moon, death come soon
Crack babies lie in the womb, life already in ruin
Smack heads and speed freaks just add to the gloom
Pipe smokin’ philosophers only too keen to offer us, a piece of their mind,
But that could be hard to find
Pill poppin’ non stop talkin about the street robbin’
To get all the money to keep this party rockin’

Emaciated girls, mothers pushin’ double buggies
Building site workers pointin’ the finger, look at ‘em druggies
Arms torn to shreds by needles picked up from flea bitten beds
Clingin’ to life by a single thread
Crime figures go up in the estate, legalize and get the prices down before it’s too late
For Christ’s sake, cocaine ravaged airways means this man knew better days
Pills to make dance music listenable, the decay’s visible
Crack filled pipes means there’s not much food on the table tonight
Don’t matter cos you’re so fucked you ain’t got an appetite
But this is your choice in life, don’t expect me to pay for your rehab,
Think Im mad, just cos you’re feelin’ bad
Look around, speed merchants talkin shit daily, natural herb mongers in among us
Great minds clearly, no not really, buy into the shit they say it’ll cost you dearly

CHORUS 3
Smoke filled rooms with a dance tune goin’ boom
Face as pale as the moon, death come soon
Crack babies lie in the womb, life already in ruin
Smack heads and speed freaks just add to the gloom
Pipe smokin’ philosophers only too keen to offer us, a piece of their mind,
But that could be hard to find
Pill poppin’ non stop talkin about the street robbin’
To get all the money to keep this party rockin’

Smoke filled rooms with a dance tune goin’ boom
Face as pale as the moon, death come soon
Crack babies lie in the womb, life already in ruin
Smack heads and speed freaks just add to the gloom
Pipe smokin’ philosophers only too keen to offer us, a piece of their mind,
But that could be hard to find
Pill poppin’ non stop talkin about the street robbin’
To get all the money to keep this party rockin’
