I want to give up smoking, I've tried and tried and tried
the patches, the gum, the tablets, and Alan Carr's book
I wake up with a cough, accompanied by phlegm all jellified
it's yellow, and green even grey and almost black
I 'll have to stop, as I know it's slowly killing me
but I have one with a beer or cup of coffee when out
to socialise. My friends all smoke around me
they just don't seem to see what it is all about.
My lungs are telling me that they just can't cope
with swirling coils of carcinogens in every little corner
and the habit so entrenched in me, do I have a hope
of giving up and smelling sweet, or rather be a goner.
