Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We sit and we sigh, and nothing gets done

So right, so clued-up, we just get old

And all the while, been torn asunder

Nicotine and bacteria

[Verse 2]

We sit and we sigh, and nothing gets done

So right, so clued-up, we just get old

And all the while, been torn asunder

Nicotine and bacteria

[Verse 3]

We sit and we sigh, and nothing gets done

So right, so clued-up, we just get old

And all the while, been torn asunder

Nicotine and bacteria

[Verse 4]

We sit and we sigh, and nothing gets done

So right, so clued-up, we just get old

And all the while, been torn asunder

Nicotine and bacteria

[Verse 5]

We sit and we sigh, and nothing gets done

So right, so clued-up, we just get old

And all the while, been torn asunder

Nicotine and bacteria
