Dad Blame Anything a Man Can't Quit
Breaking Free: Conquering Habits in the Smoke of Life
Lyrics
L'm a two pack a day man, smoke like a fiend
Describes being a heavy smoker, consuming two packs of cigarettes daily.
Like a burned out bearing in a bad machine
Compares oneself to a worn-out part in a malfunctioning machine, likely feeling exhausted or depleted.
L can't breath in the morning 'til l get myself a cigarette lit
Expresses difficulty breathing in the morning until lighting up a cigarette.
L say dad blame anything a man can't quit
States frustration at the inability to quit addictive habits.
l'm a brand new newly-wed, married again
Refers to being newly married for the tenth time.
Nine times previous and this makes ten
Highlights the frequency of getting married repeatedly (ten times).
L ought to be kicked so hard 'til l can hardly walk around or sit
Expresses a feeling of deserving punishment for repeated marriages.
L say dad blame anything a man can't quit
Expresses frustration at the inability to break the pattern of repeated marriages.
Still l keep it up, keep it up and do it all the time
Describes persisting in behavior despite acknowledging its negative consequences.
Every now and then l make up my mind
Acknowledges occasional attempts to stop the behavior (marrying or smoking) temporarily.
To give it up, give it up, throw it away
Expresses intention to quit but often fails to follow through.
L usually change my mind later on up in the day
Reflects changing one's decision about quitting later in the day.
l'm a two pack a day man, smoke like a fiend
Reiterates being a heavy smoker with the same consumption pattern.
Like a burned out bearing in a bad machine
Repeats the comparison to a worn-out machine part, emphasizing exhaustion or fatigue.
L can't breath in the morning 'til l get myself a cigarette lit
Repeats the difficulty in breathing without a morning cigarette.
L say dad blame anything a man can't quit
Restates frustration at the inability to quit.
