Heavy living is the life that I've lead
Seeing saylight through a curtain of red
Stands to reason why I'm staying in bed
Heavy living off the top of my head

Heavy live, uh, I know it too well
Every creak on the stairway to hell
Double vision and a terrible smell
Heavy living at the Hard Luck Hotel

Heavy sausage is the price you pay
When you're on a corridor
Heavy bangers is another way
To let youself go

Heavy living's the condition I'm in
I'd wish I hadn't if I knew where I'd been
The air is cold, and the membrane is thin
Heavy living getting under my skin

Heavy sausage is the price you pay
At the cafe Doolally
Heavy bangers has a special way
Of saying hello
Heavy cricket on a cloudy day
Heavy chukkas ‘till the close of play
Heavy living is the way I'll stay
As if I don't know

Heavy living is the life that I've lead
Passion spent, nobility fled
Stands to reason why I'm staying in bed
Heavy living off the top of my head

Heavy shitters is the price you pay
When you're on a corridor
Heavy bangers is another way to
Let yourself go
Heavy make-up for the matinee
Heavy curtains at the cabaret
Heavy living is the way I'll stay
As if I don't know

Heavy sausage is the dish of the day
Heavy bangers on the reoundelay
Heavy living is the way I'll stay
As if I don't know
As if I don't know
