Testo The Children of Bedford - Beans On Toast
Testo della canzone The Children of Bedford (Beans On Toast), tratta dall'album Fishing for a Thank You
Well there's a time and a place for everything
There's a time to be quiet, a time to sing
There's a time to get drunk, a time to stay sober
There's probably time to work out that everything will kill you
And sometimes if you laugh too much it's gonna make you cry
Are you really, really happy if you're always really high?
Everything in moderation and one thing at a time
'Cause it's never been a secret what the drugs do to your mind
And just 'cause I've got a song about MDMA
Well that don't mean that I think you should take it every day
I'm glad that the children of Bedford like my songs
I hope they don't interpret them wrong
And start doing it for the thrill, forgetting about the fun
And end up getting lost in a dangerous world of drugs
Well I was 16 years old when I started smoking weed
£7.50 For a teen for hash from Andrew Chinnery
We'd all go down the steps at the park
That's where I learnt to skin up
And then I started building lungs of pipes at lunchtime at school
Using plastic bowls and carrier bags, squares of tin foil
I used to love the way it made me think and feel and giggle
I never felt no peer pressure, I did it 'cause I wanted to
And soft drugs lead to hard drugs, I guess that might be true
'Cause a year or so later I was on speed too
We'd go round Craig's brother's house every Friday night
Chip in for a gram and talk until the sunrise
I'll never forget the taste of my first E
It was plain and fucking simple why they called it ecstasy
A nimble in the bud and a tingle in the spine
The feeling of euphoria, it happened every time
And just 'cause I've got a song about MDMA
Well that don't mean that I think you should take it every day
I'm glad the children of Bedford like my songs
I hope they don't interpret them wrong
And start doing it for the thrill, forgetting about the fun
And end up getting lost in a dangerous world of drugs
So then the days turn into months and the seasons start to change
And I'm squeezing to the toilet for a line of cocaine
A quick, quick reaction and a blind confidence
It's addictive and expensive but I couldn't give a toss
I was wonky off the ketamine, confused by the acid
The moral of the story though is knowing when to crack it
Know what you can handle and know when you should stop
And don't take folk singers as role models
And just 'cause I've got a song about MDMA
Well that don't mean that I think you should take it every day
I'm glad the children of Bedford like my songs
I hope they don't interpret them wrong
And start doing it for the thrill, forgetting about the fun
And end up getting lost in a dangerous world of drugs
So there's a right and a wrong to everyone
There's a hard luck story and a half decent song
There's a spliff in the ashtray, a pen in my finger
A moral to the story that I can't even remember
But sometimes if you laugh too much it's gonna make you cry
You should enjoy the rollercoaster but not get taken for a ride
Everything in moderation and one thing at a time
But whatever you do, just don't take my advice
