about

"once i traveled across Spain with my best friend and band of Australians" - Trey Yip

lyrics

Roll Me A Cigarette
music/words - Trey Yip

Hey momma look in my eyes and tell me what you see
Do you see all the good things you bring out in me?
Hey momma look at these tattoos on my feet
Drawn there to remind me of all the things I desperately need
I was a fool before but I could be better I swear its true
If they don't catch up with me, know they won''t catch up with you

Darling don't be so sad
you are the best thing I have
won't you stay up with me all night
and roll me a cigarette
we'll sleep when we're dead
yeah we'll sleep when we're dead

There's lightning tonight out on this foreign coast
where have all the poets gone? the poets have all moved on
I could still swim across the wicked sea to prove my love
A man could not be a man unless he's had his face in the mud
well come on with me pack a bag, lets leave tonight
I wasn't born like this but I could sure force a fight

The road is full of danger and a man may have no friends
well follow the Australians from Barcelona to San Sebastian
And Jesus is waiting for you, he looks out over the island rock and the bay
that was when Benjamin had a beard, Benjamin could show you the way
