lyrics

smoking packets of cigarettes

this is killin' her
and she can't go on
it's only work
why's she frozen what's wong?

perhaps it's expectation
of payin' her way
perhaps it's her addictions
who can really say

but it's gettin' her down
and she's fallin' apart
nightly all alone
walkin' the dog in the park

not disposed to suicide
she couldn't be more depressed
lonely at home with her tv
smoking packets of cigarettes.
not disposed to suicide
shopping forays for a new dress
lonely at home with her tv
smoking packets of cigarettes
smoking packets of cigarettes

her child cries
just as she feels her heat
and she mutters damn in the dark
as she puts slippers on her feet

there's no love
as she administers maternal care
really she's so over this
nails in the coffins of despair.

days little better than the nights
idle chat with colleagues
empty bus journey's to home
and endless evenings of fatigue

not disposed to suicide
she couldn't be more depressed
lonely at home with her tv
smoking packets of cigarettes.
not disposed to suicide
shopping forays for a new dress
lonely at home with her tv
smoking packets of cigarettes
smoking packets of cigarettes

Steve Blaque recommends:

SOFT MACHINE
by The Radiance

Great Record first up because I produced it at Forbidden City Studio and that The Radiance delivered some powerful performances in the booth and that supporting artists all gave their best shot. Steve Blaque

Flying Kites
by The Radiance

This double A single works because The Radiance once again develop interesting songs and are prepared to introduce new and old school into their recordings. It is rich in rhythmic elements and harmony Steve Blaque
