lyrics

Take me from this land of soap and cigarettes
I won’t forget
The day that you first tumbled into view
Where the earth is flat and the sky is brown
Muddy water runnin’ through the town
All because of soap and cigarettes

Where the streets are weeping open scars
Shovels full of melted tar
For carburettors always out of tune
And your factories in overdrive
Overalls in overtime
All that work for soap and cigarettes

The mist is rising to the hills
Where trouser suits and sleeping pills
Pull the shades on other points of view
She knows her place I know mine
In this wordless pantomime
All she wants is soap and cigarettes

With your parables and your picket lines
That got you through the worst of times
They also serve those who stand and wait
Gates of pearl and gets of steel
For some you fight and others kneel
Anything for soap and cigarettes

Take me from this land of soap and cigarettes
I won’t forget
The day that you first tumbled into view
I caught the train I bought the lie
Innocence my alibi
Anything for soap and cigarettes
