Lyrics

Smoko

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

So let me set the scene

It's 2 in the afternoon and 34 degrees

The Queensland harsh summer heat

Had me sweating buckets up and down my street

It was there I spotted the bloke

Perched atop of his milk crate throne

He eyed me off as I approached

Then he said

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

So it's Tuesday Morning and my Centrelink hasn't come through

So I pick up the phone because I've got some abusing to do

But all I get is elevator music

Waiting on the line

On hold all the time

All I get is elevator music

Waiting on the line

'Til I get a reply

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

Argh, ah what time is it?

Is it Smoko?

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone

I'm on Smoko, so leave me alone
