Well, I was hooked on Scrumpy Jack
When I was just a lad
Chucking rocks at passing trains
The only buzz I had
I was hooked on harder stuff
In just a year or two
But the strangest addiction I ever had was you
When I was just a teenager
I went to park and I
Sat on swings and roundabouts
And stared up at the sky
Now that age of innocence
Is compensated by
Late in life, I've found my legal high
Vodka, gin, and whisky, even strongest Belgian beer
Don't give me withdrawals like I get when you're not here
And I'm shaking like that skinny-dipper without a towel to dry
When I don't get my fix of legal high
It'll make you look out window, write a poem to the sky
And thank the stars you've found your legal high
Smoking your first cigarette
You're pretty quickly hooked
Both nicotine and alcohol
Grim Reaper's got you booked
Cocaine, speed, and heroin
They'll only turn you blue
But the worst kind of overdose has to be you
Now we're much, much older
We visit cemetery
Place that bunch of flowers for friend
That we no longer see
The way they died so wastefully
Is not for you and I
'Cause finally we've found our legal high
Vodka, gin, and whisky, even strongest Belgian beer
Don't give me withdrawals like I get when you're not here
And I'm shaking like that skinny dipper without a towel to dry
When I don't get my fix of legal high
It'll make you look out window, write a poem to the sky
Thank the stars, you've found your legal high
