Yes it’s hard times, No-one’s giving nothing, hard times, no-one’s getting 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.
I’ve got plans, Yeah I’ve got dreams, of my pockets, bursting at the seams. Money’s like the cells inside: you need some in order to multiply. It was cold when I went looking for my girl Suzette, but I found her, cuddling a cigarette.
