Lyrics

Well, I was hooked on Scrumpy Jack When I was just a lad Chucking rocks at passing trains The only buzz I had I was hooked on harder stuff In just a year or two But the strangest addiction I ever had was you When I was just a teenager I went to park and I Sat on swings and roundabouts And stared up at the sky Now that age of innocence Is compensated by Late in life, I've found my legal high Vodka, gin, and whisky, even strongest Belgian beer Don't give me withdrawals like I get when you're not here And I'm shaking like that skinny-dipper without a towel to dry When I don't get my fix of legal high It'll make you look out window, write a poem to the sky And thank the stars you've found your legal high Smoking your first cigarette You're pretty quickly hooked Both nicotine and alcohol Grim Reaper's got you booked Cocaine, speed, and heroin They'll only turn you blue But the worst kind of overdose has to be you Now we're much, much older We visit cemetery Place that bunch of flowers for friend That we no longer see The way they died so wastefully Is not for you and I 'Cause finally we've found our legal high Vodka, gin, and whisky, even strongest Belgian beer Don't give me withdrawals like I get when you're not here And I'm shaking like that skinny dipper without a towel to dry When I don't get my fix of legal high It'll make you look out window, write a poem to the sky Thank the stars, you've found your legal high
