Lung Cancer

I never made a fuss, you know I should've created
The day you had your left leg amputated
And the doctor said it was a ten to one bet
That the blood clot had been caused by cigarette

I should've complained, I should've played it much meaner
Having to put up with your emphysema
Your nicotine kisses and your galling cough
I sometimes used to think that I had had enough

When you went to the doctor just the other day
Because you had a bad cough that wouldn't go away
Well, you looked half dead and your skin had turned grey
And they rushed you down to hospital straight away

They took you down to X-ray and conducted some tests
And found a cyst the size of Africa inside your chest
I met your doctor in the chip shop and he made me cry
When he let slip in the queue that you are gonna die

'Cause you've got lung cancer and you're gonna die
Now you've got lung cancer and all I do is cry
Looking for love when I was younger
I should've insisted on a non-smoker

I wonder how much longer you'll be part of the scenery
Sitting there coughing off a big, fat greeny
You'd given up years ago if I'd've had it my way
Kissing you was like licking out an ashtray

I never really gave you too much grief
About your nicotine fingers and your discoloured teeth
But you kept on smoking and I kept on choking
From involuntary passive smoking

I went to the doctor just the other day
Because I had a bad cough that wouldn't go away
The doc says when you die, I won't be alone and blue
'Cause I'll be checking out even sooner than you

'Cause I've got lung cancer, it ain't no joke
Now I've got lung cancer, I don't even smoke
Looking for love when I was younger
I should've insisted on a non-smoker

You've got lung cancer and you're gonna die
Now you've got lung cancer and so have I
Looking for love when I was younger
I should've insisted on a non-smoker

Kissing you was like licking out an ashtray
