Beans On Toast Throat Cancer song 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
