Roll Me A Cigarette. Lyrics JOHN Shaw. Music Ford | Grimes.
The weatherman says. 
Grey is the colour of the day. 
His sweeping arm calls up a storm. 
The barometer is already dropping. 
Roll me a cigarette, and tell me,
Life is irresponsible.
Can’t face the day on yet more pills.
It’s not my favorite medication.
Fix me ice with a twist of lemon, 
Set it on its feet with a shot of vodka.
Try sending that in my direction.
Everyday life stares unblinking from your make-up mirror.
Look again and see your mother.
Life is not your friend.
It never gives an even break. 
It hates a level playing field, 
It moves the goal posts overnight.
Remember there is more to life than winning. 
Remember you're a sassy woman. 
Remember all the things you did for love?
Throw away that black umbrella.
Roll me a kiss from scarlet lips. 
Blow, weather man, and crash your graphics!
Tell me life is irresponsible.
Don’t let me die before you listen.
Pour me a glass of cold champagne.
Don’t let me die before you listen
Pour me a glass of cold Champagne
