Gaoler's Daughter Cuddling a Cigarette lyrics

Yes it's hard times,
no one's giving nothing,
hard times,
no one's taking nothing,
we're all trying just to take a little,
but the bottom fell out,
the top and the middle,
it was cold when i went looking for my girl Suzette,
but i found her,
cuddling a cigarette.

roof's a leakin,
it's coming through the ceiling.
paint's a peelin,
can hear my coffin sealing.
sold my car just to buy some fuel,
sold my kids,
just to buy them gruel,
it was cold when i went looking for my girl Suzette,
but i found her,
cuddling a cigarette.


holes in my soles,
yeah they're getting old.
holes in my clothes,
letting in the cold.
shave my beard with a butcher's knife,
i'm really not that fussed with life,
it was cold when i went looking for my girl Suzette,
but i found her,
cuddling a cigarette.

but i've got plans,
yeh i have dreams,
of my pockets,
bursting at the seams.
but money's like the cells inside,
you need some in order to multiply,
it was cold when i went looking fro my girl Suzette
but i found her,
cuddling a cigarette.
