My Legal High

[00:25.90] Well, I was hooked on Scrumpy Jack
[00:28.95] When I was just a lad
[00:32.41] Chucking rocks at passing trains
[00:35.57] The only buzz I had
[00:39.31] I was hooked on harder stuff
[00:42.56] In just a year or two
[00:46.38] But the strangest addiction I ever had was you
[00:52.39] When I was just a teenager
[00:56.37] I went to park and I
[00:59.10] Sat on swings and roundabouts
[01:02.33] And stared up at the sky
[01:06.11] Now that age of innocence
[01:08.91] Is compensated by
[01:13.38] Late in life, I've found my legal high
[01:20.10] Vodka, gin, and whisky, even strongest Belgian beer
[01:26.85] Don't give me withdrawals like I get when you're not here
[01:32.85] And I'm shaking like that skinny-dipper without a towel to dry
[01:40.05] When I don't get my fix of legal high
[01:46.05] It'll make you look out window, write a poem to the sky
[01:53.18] And thank the stars you've found your legal high
[01:59.86]
[02:02.52] Smoking your first cigarette
[02:05.42] You're pretty quickly hooked
[02:08.84] Both nicotine and alcohol
[02:12.19] Grim Reaper's got you booked
[02:15.53] Cocaine, speed, and heroin
[02:18.80] They'll only turn you blue
[02:23.02] But the worst kind of overdose has to be you
[02:29.13] Now we're much, much older
[02:32.19] We visit cemetery
[02:35.47] Place that bunch of flowers for friend
[02:38.96] That we no longer see
[02:42.19] The way they died so wastefully
[02:45.53] Is not for you and I
[02:49.77] 'Cause finally we've found our legal high
[02:56.86] Vodka, gin, and whisky, even strongest Belgian beer
[03:03.45] Don't give me withdrawals like I get when you're not here
[03:09.63] And I'm shaking like that skinny dipper without a towel to dry
[03:16.75] When I don't get my fix of legal high
[03:22.64] It'll make you look out window, write a poem to the sky
[03:30.10] Thank the stars, you've found your legal high
[03:34.84]
