Story behind the song
A sad but true song about Irene whose life went so teribly wrong as a result of her addiction to smoking. RIP Irene
Lyrics
She started at the age of 14 Smoking with her friends Hiding there behind the bike sheds Then she’d hurry home again A pack of mints before she got there To camouflage the smell Her mum and dad would never know They’d think that all was well Chorus Look into her eyes and you will see She’s still there dancing through the trees Hair blowing freely in the breeze Come back to the one’s who love you Irene Another pack of cigarettes Another day went by She smoked more just to feed the craving And never reasoned why She said that she would quit tomorrow But tomorrow never comes Then she just smoked another 40 And soon her sole was gone Chorus She went to bed that evening To try to get some sleep They came to wake her in the morning But found she’d passed on in her sleep They managed to revive her But at what cost to her mind Now she walks around in a world of her own Surrounded by ours Chorus Instrumental Sure she gets mad and swears You see life seems so unfair She can’t communicate with us The way she used to do The way she wants to do Irene Chorus
