From the recording Shake it Loose
Lyrics
He used to have a nice big house on the corner of our street
But he lost it in a gambling match now he’s living on his feet
That’s the problem with addiction it keeps on coming back
Like a shadow on my shoulder like a needle in my back
Fighting an addiction
It’s a war inside your head
Fighting an addiction
It’s a ghost beneath your bed
That’s the trouble with addiction
It will never let you go
She ran a nice wine and dine in the centre of our town
But the bottles whispered secrets, and her dreams came crashing down
That’s the trouble with a craving it lingers in the air
Like a story not forgotten that’s always waiting there
Fighting an addiction
It’s just putting on a show
Fighting an addiction
You won’t win you already know
That’s the trouble with addiction
It’s a habit you can’t outgrow
They were caught in a cycle
spinning round and round
Searching for a light switch
Never to be found
Fighting an addiction
It’s just putting on a show
Fighting an addiction
You won’t win you already know
That’s the trouble with addiction
It’s a thief that won’t let go
Fighting an addiction
Fighting an addiction
Fighting an addiction
Fighting an addiction
