I’ve tried coca cola

I’ve tried a cup of tea

I’ve taken it in stages, tried cold turkey

I’ve tried seeing friends

I’ve tried hiding away

I’ve tried pretending but the night always follows day

I can cope with the way you make me live in fear

Just as a long as I can smoke and drink a little beer

I’ve tried an early morning

I’ve tried a lie in

I’ve taken out all the bottles and thrown them in the bin

I’ve tried writing songs

I’ve tried making lists

Still there’s only one thing that tastes sweeter than a kiss

I can cope with the way you make me live in fear

Just as a long as I can smoke and drink a little beer
