Coffee, Methadone & Cigarettes

See my old man has a broken heart
 He got a leaky valve and aneurysm, but
 Trace it back to the start
 When that big ol' fire came towards the end of town
 Well that greedy thing burnt more than the bush down
 You can bury that head and try to forget
 He's still waking up with coffee, methadone and cigarettes

 In the summer of 58
 When innocence shattered and broke
 The tree, the egg, the nest, the breast, the yolk
 When those thieving flames took my granddad from my pa
 And ever since then we've been mending all those scars
 But the bandages and ointments ain't done it
 He's still waking up with coffee, methadone and cigarettes

 That broken bird somehow grew
 With the seven brothers and sisters moved
 From the country to the zoo
 Between the legacy visits and the boarding schools
 Yes he learned to dodge the books
 And he learned to dodge the fools
 Says he's made mistakes but lives with no regrets
 Still waking up with coffee, methadone and cigarettes

 Grandma on Sunday used to eat the chicken leg
 She said she wasn't hungry and the kids could have the rest
 When those kids grew they learnt just what she'd done
 She would go hungry for all of them
 She'd go hungry for everyone
 And now she's gone and it's hell in the hand basket
 He's still waking up with coffee, methadone and cigarettes

 You can bury that head and try to forget
 You can bury that head and try to live with no regrets
 You can bury that head and it's all gone to shit
