Cocaine Man Songtext
von Baxter Dury

14th of June 1912
I woke up feeling sprightly
Woke out of bed, thought, "Mama, ya done me proud"
Looked over the kitchen sink, thought, "Wow, that′s my house"
I paid the mortgage, it's mine

Got up, cup of coffee, went down nice, didn′t it?
Made me feel a bit moodkey
Then I stood up straight and proud, I knew I was a man
Thought, "Mama, ya done me proud"

Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man
We wear friendly smiles
All night
Get bladdered on Lucifer's grain
Pray it never stop
Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man


So a car pulls up, and I go downstairs
I'm wearing my best trousers, I′m feeling happy
Sunlight was shining down
I′m wearing Topsham blue shoes, with a crisp lime trouser line
Beautiful it is, the day's beautiful too

Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man
We wear friendly smiles
All night
Get bladdered on Lucifer′s grain
Pray it never stop
Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man

Crash bang, when I meet her, she's beautiful, she is
She stands alone, not caring who′s looking
Her name's Rebecca Trollop, and I fall right into her trap
Bang, it′s disgusting


Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man
We wear friendly smiles
All night
Get bladdered on Lucifer's grain
Pray it never stop
Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man
