Beans On Toast Throat Cancer
After all these years of smoking
The fire has gone out
I quit while I'm ahead
But before I'm dead
And before my time runs out
I could hardly talk
When i went for a walk
To try to find a doctor
Wondering to myself if I had throat cancer
Well it's the smoking, drinking, shouting, yelling
Snorting gear and talking
All has an effect on the way that i sound
And the voice that you are hearing
The doctor took an x ray
He stuck a camera down my throat
And asked me what i thought the problem was
I said "It's probably all the smoking fags and snorting cocaine"
He was surprised with my honesty but he agreed all the same
He said it wasn't cancer
And it wouldn't kill me today
But i gave up smoking anyway
No electric cigarette
And no nicotine patch
I'm doing it cold turkey
It's been 4 weeks and 3 days now
And I've almost found it easy
The diagnosis was good
I'm a lucky f..cking sod
And i'm happy to be alive now
I'll take it as a blessing not a curse
And put the fire out now
But not the fire in my heart
No that ain't gonna die
For all my friends and loved ones
Gonna keep that burning bright
But if i was struck down by some nasty disease
Would i really be worthy of their sympathy?
Well the way i like to carry myself
And live my life so carelessly
Well, that ain't gonna change
And I'm sure that i can still be the person that i want to be
Without taking cocaine
So no more racking up on my wallet in a club
I'm doing it cold turkey
It's been 4 weeks and 5 days now
And I've almost found it easy
And I've almost found it easy
The diagnosis was good
I'm a lucky f..cking sod
And i'm happy to be alive now
I'll take it as a blessing not a curse
And put the fire out now
I'll take it as a blessing not a curse
And put the fire out now
