Diamorphine
It happens every time, I know
But I don't want to hear that stuff like
"when you've got to go you've got to go"
No no, no
It's really very easy, just a case of suck and blow
But you're not here nor there, you're somewhere inbetween
And don't get me wrong, we're thankful for the diamorphene
But there's no hurry, you just take it nice and slow
Suck and blow
You didn't want to drink - I did
But I said ' hard to swallow something quite as sour as this is
And you laughed, and you said to me:
"Don't go getting old
'coz getting old is not for sissies."
And now I'm roundin' bout the garden you like best
And I'm wonderin' if you're thinking
"Oh dear God, Give it a rest"
So I'll just sit and watch and wait until the heartbeat misses
Wait until the heartbeat misses
I never got to say what I thought of you
You didn't want to hear it I just thought you kinda knew it wasn't fair
Cause you told me straight
I might act like an ass, but you saw sunshine out of there
And now on this dark night I can't see right from wrong
I wish at least that I could say what killed you made me strong
But as your breath gets faint I'm thinkin'
"What's the point of sucking air"
Suck and blow
What's the point of sucking air?
Suck and blow
So my face stays dry
And I will never say
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Do you think I'd care?
Do you think I care? (ad infinitum)
Half the chance and I'll be there
What's the point of sucking air?
