Last Cigarette

歌詞

I'm back in this habit The tobacconist grabbing a packet of fags And passing it back as I hand him the cash The transaction is tragic A moment of magic As I open the packet and go for the wrapping In only a moment I'll have this fag lit The sad fact is I'm an addict, I need The hit of nicotine, just to breathe And it's obscene Just between us, as a kid, I disbelieved A brittle leaf mixed with heat Could leave you feeling incomplete without it So blow the smoke out quick You'll feel terrible However, you will have achieved something incredible This is my last cigarette I've done enough that I have to regret This is my last cigarette I've done enough that I have to regret Bringing a whole different sting To the thing you hold in your fingers They're stained since you imitated The behaviour of your favourite singer I know you stroll to the cinema And your role model's holding a Marlboro The image is vivid and so you're sold the whole Till your soul is a prisoner moulded in miniature Rolled in a Rizla Held in a wrestling hold till the finisher You're choked out, so blow the smoke out No doubt: self-control's what's killing you This is my last cigarette I've done enough that I have to regret This is my last cigarette I've done enough that I have to regret This is my last cigarette I've done enough I have to regret Without gasping for breath, asking for death In return for the active effects As many a heroin addict has said It's addictive as smack, you'd be daft to inject Skip the needle and the needle skips As I tap my fag, let the ash hit the deck Stood on the back step in the rain And never complain till my fag's wet Splashed out, cashing the cheque Ash, ground; ground, ash; have you met? This is my last cigarette I've done enough that I have to regret This is my last cigarette I've done enough that I have to regret I stub the nub Enough's enough, I'm good I would gladly have another fag, see But the fact is I'm done It's off my chest And I'm impressed With my willpower, nothing less Face my face at 88 miles an hour Time travelling as my life expectancy expands And I feel like a younger man You need to fight the hunger, Dan You're done; you can I can I am This is my last cigarette I've done enough I have to regret This is my last cigarette I've done enough I have to regret This is my last cigarette I've done enough I have to regret This is my last cigarette I've done enough that I have to regret
