about

A song ultimately about the power of addiction, Big Nipper blends finger snapping rat-pack jazz with smoking rockabilly and blues harmonica.

lyrics

Chant it loudly, chant it low
till my blood has frozen slow
And her eyes have darken'd whole
thats why she dont want to know

She says she loves me But she never stays home
She says she needs me but I'm always alone
I used to think baby we should give it a whirl
But now I'm thinking lately That you ain't no nice girl

She said I smoke too much
And that I joke too much
She says I smoke too much

She says she'll be there But I don't hear a thing
She says she'll call But the phone never rings
I used to think baby we could let it unfurl
But now I'm thinking lately That you ain't no nice girl

She says she loves me but I smoke too much
She'd like to leave me but it would break my heart
And if she went I would be so cut up
If only i could put the damn things down
Oh help me stop and think and sober up
I really think that we should do this now
The truth is yeah its got me, oh aint nothing gonna stop me
Can feel myself just reaching for them one more time

Hey I know I promised not to cross that line
But quitting ain’t so easy when you’ve got no spine
Babe you said you’d call but you ain’t done yet
And all I’ve got to cling to is my last cigarette
My last cigarette
