Once I smoked a Dannemann cigar
I drove a foreign car
But baby, that was years ago
I left it all behind
I had a friend, I heard she died
Well, on a needle she was crucified
Baby, that was years ago
I left it all behind for my

Cheap wine and a three day growth
Cheap wine and a three day growth
Come on, come on, well come on

I don't mind takin' charity
From those that I despise
Baby, I don't need your love, I don't need your love
Baby, you can shout at me
But you can't meet my eyes
I don't need your love, I don't need your love, I got my

Cheap wine and a three day growth
Cheap wine and a three day growth
Come on, come on, well come on, come on

I'm sitting on the beach, drinkin' rocket fuels, oh, yeah!
I spent the whole night, breakin' all the rules, oh, yeah!
I'm mending every minute of the day before
Watching the ocean, watching the shore
Watching the sunrise, and thinkin' there could never be more
Will never be more, yeah
Well, anytime you want to find me
I don't have a telephone
I'm another world away
But I always feel at home, with my

Cheap wine and a three day growth
A cheap wine and a three day growth
Oh, come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on
Cheap wine and a three day growth
Cheap wine and a three day growth
Oh come on, oh come on, come on

Come on, come on
A cheap wine and a three day growth
A cheap wine and a three day growth
(Come on, oh come on, oh come on)
(I left it for my, my, my)
(A cheap wine and a three day growth)
(A cheap wine and a three day growth)

    I love this song. It's amazing. I'm surprised to see that it's still being commented (as of five months ago), seeing as it was released in 1980. Well done.
