MY DAILY POISON

MY DAILY POISON

Valium and coffee gets me through the day
Valium and coffee pushes troubles away

Don’t ring my phone, don’t ring my doorbell
‘Till Valium and coffee wake me from my night-time hell

My little white sugarbabe and my big black bitch
Take away that daytime itch

Keep this quiet, your secret and mine
Or the bastards’ll stop me courting my secret valentines

Someone sang “what a wonderful world”
He never saw the things in my memory’s world

The evils locked up since childhood remain
Valium and coffee keeping me sane

To the buggers that hurt me I’d like you dead
Then I’d sleep well in my bed

‘Till then Valium and coffee
Comfort me instead.
