About the Artist
Lyrics
It was a dusty old night And I'm the first to admit it I'm sure I upset someone But my memory has chosen to omit it A tiny voice telling me I really should cool it Chewing my face off Talking absolute rubbish The first line hit me like a kick in the face I thought I'd better have another one just in case Next thing I knew my heart was under attack I bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell I've always tried to keep my vices under wraps But a coach-load of mutes would have been talkative chaps If they seemed fit to join me for a couple of hits But now my septum is in tatters And I've still got the runs Burned for a moment then it kicked like a mule The strangers I recruited thought it was rocket fuel Several massive chocking lines of glorious gack I bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell Stick it up your fucking nose! Holding court, repeating myself, each repetition slightly louder Pausing just long enough to snort the white powder Wheels came off but I'm still on track I bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell and back One way ticket to hell and back Bought a one way ticket to hell
