I smoke and drink coffee like it's going out of style,so was an easy subject to write about.This is the second song I ever wrote or tried to record in my life.Drums are from casio keyboard,recorded on 4 track Tascam.
I'm just a 56 year old cement mixer driver who gets laid off every winter for 3 months.I enjoy writing songs and recording them myself at home on my 8 track Boss BR864 recorder.It's just another one of my many hobbies.I just do it for kicks.Just laid back musical enjoyment.
I have lots of originals and collabs on my page.My originals are are true stories about me,or people I know,or how I feel about things.Collabs are all efforts of me and my Soundclick friends.Doing collabs is my favorite thing here on Soundclick.Hope ya enjoy some of the tunes.
Story behind the song
I smoke and drink coffe like it's going out of style,so was an easy subject to write about.This is the second song I ever wrote or tried to record in my life.Drums are from casio keyboard,recorded on 4 track Tascam.
Lyrics
ADDICTIONS Laurel Varner 2004
WHEN I GET UP IN THE MORN'IN ,THE FIRST THING THAT I DO
IS POOR A CUP OF COFFEE ,LIGHT UP A CIGARETTE TOO
I SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE, SLOWLY SIP THAT CUP OF MUD
WHILE I WAIT FOR THE CAFFIENE ,TO SOAK IN TO MY BLOOD
IT IS MY REPLACMENT ,FOR DRUGS AND ACOHOL
PEOPLE KEEP ON ASK'IN ,HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT ALL
FOUR BIG POTS OF FOLGERS, TWO PACKS OF REDS A DAY
PLEASURE AND ENJOYMENT ,IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY
(CHORUS)
I'M A CAFFIENE DRINK'IN ,NICOTINE SMOK'IN MACHINE
IT KEEPS ME MELLOW ,IT KEEPS ME FROM BE'IN MEAN
BESIDES THE COFF'IN AND THE CHOK'IN,AND FIND'IN IT HARD TO BREATHE
DRINK'IN COFFEE AND SMOK'IN ,JUST DONT SEEM TO BOTHER ME
(LEAD BREAK WITH A LITTLE TALK'IN)...yea play it boys--think i'll poor another cup---light one up
I BEEN SMOK'IN AND DRINK'IN COFFEE ,SINCE 1958
BACK THEN WHEN I STARTED ,I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS GREAT
BUT THE OLDER I GET I REALIZE ,IT'S NOT TO GOOD FOR ME
BUT I CANT STOP THESE DAMMED OLD DRUGS ,HAVE GOT A HOLD ON ME
NOW CAFFIENE KEEPS YOU HIPER ,NICOTINE STICKS TO YOUR LUNGS LIKE GLUE
I CANT COUNT ALL THE PROBLEMS ,THESE ADDICTIONS HAVE HELPED ME THROUGH
AND THAT AFTER SEX CIGARETTE , OH LORD IT MAKES YOU FEEL SO FINE
THESE DRUGS ARE SLOWLY KILL'IN ME ,WHILE MAK'IN ME FEEL GOOD AT THE SAME TIME
(CHORUS)
I'M A CAFFIENE DRINK'IN ,NICOTINE SMOK'IN MACHINE
IT KEEPS ME MELLOW ,IT KEEPS ME FROM BE'IN MEAN
BESIDES THE COFF'IN AND THE CHOK'IN ,AND FIND'IN IT HARD TO BREATHE
DRINK'IN COFFEE AND SMOK'IN ,JUST DONT SEEM TO BOTHER ME
DRINK'IN COFFEE AND SMOK'IN ,JUST DONT SEEM TO BOTHER ME
I like it. Sounds great.
