Throat Cancer Lyrics & Tabs by Beans On Toast
Throat Cancer
guitar chords lyrics
After all these years of smoking
the fire has gone out
ill quit while im ahead
but before im dead
and before my time runs out
i coul dhardly talk when i went for a walk
to try to find a doctor
wondering to myself if i had throat cancer
its 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 its probably all the smoking fags and snorting cocaine
he was surprised with my honesty but he agreed all the same
he said it wasnt cancer
and it wouldnt kill me today
but i gave up smoking anyway
no electric cigarette
no nicotine patch
im doing it cold turkey
its been 4 weeks and 3 days now
and ive almost found it easy
the diagnosis was good im a lucky fucking sod
and im happy to be alive now
ill take it as a blessing not a curse
and put the fire out now
but not the fire in my heart
no that aint 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
the way i like to carry myself
and live my life so carelessly
well
that aint gonna change
and im 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
im doing it cold turkey
its been 4 weeks and 5 days now
and ive almost found it easy
the diagnosis was good im a lucky fucking sod
and im happy to be alive now
ill take it as a blessing not a curse
and put the fire out now
ill take it as a blessing not a curse
and put the fire out now
