Siouxsie and the Banshees
Nicotine Stain
[Verse 1]
It's just a habit
When I reach to the packet
For my last cigarette
Until the day breaks
And then my hand shakes
But, but, but-but-but-but-but it's just driving me insane
When the smoke gets in my brain, I can't resist it

[Chorus]
Wallow in that ash bath
Soaking up the fumes
And see the nicotine stain
Start to spread

[Verse 2]
I'm so congested
Cos north, south, east and west
Catarrh rests on my chest
Congealed and twisted
Cough up and shift it
But I can feel my lungs collapse
Sinking deep into my lap, I'm so useless

[Chorus]
Wallow in that ash bath
Soaking up the fumes
And see the nicotine stain
Start to spread
[Verse 3]
I'm so useful
If you don't want to fight
Just give your foe a fright
Say you'll drop me
On every country
See, see-see-see all will be stone dead
When the nicotine stain spreads, just light me

[Chorus]
Wallow in that ash bath
Soaking up the fumes
And see the nicotine stain
Start to spread

[Outro]
It's in my head, it's in my head
Nicotine, it spreads
Congested
