LYRICS GAME

Stamped like a postcard

With a stamp on the right shoulder

It's the desert crossing

I just put out the last one

Like a big iced Coke

Under the summer heatwave

That they'd stop you from drinking

And you can sit on it

Twenty-four hours a day

The random wound

The stubborn craving

For a lifesaving puff

I may chew paperclips

And twist nails

This idea that clings on

I'd love to wring its neck

It's decided, I own it

Determined, I quit

I don't smoke a cigarette anymore

It's nice of you to join me

In giving up the vice

Everybody congratulated me

Except Philippe and Maurice

Who are waiting round the corner

When I sneak off

Desperately

To strike the match

One, two, three, four days without tobacco

It's not much, sure

But in twenty-six, that'll make a month

People find me slightly irritable

And I really wonder why

No doubt because yesterday at dinner

I threw the cat out the window

It's decided, I own it

Determined, I quit

I don't smoke a cigarette anymore

Goodbye, blondie, I liked you

But the two of us can't go on

I came to tell you you're leaving

Our love is harmful

It's written in bold

Under the orange camel

That smirks

Watching the state coffers rake in

Its share in smoke

And it goes up in smoke

How sad! It's not fun

All that fresh air seeping in

Not to nitpick

My life hangs by a filter now

I miss the old days

When my fingers stayed busy

And found substance

Without necessarily putting on weight

By filling empty air

With whatever's in the fridge

It's really too much for a butt

My kingdom for a camel!

And if I forfeited right in the middle of the match

Nobody to say: check and patch!

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

I don't smoke a cigarette anymore

Stop!
