Subject: RE: Lyr ADD: Thank You (R.J.Reynolds) Chris Jones From: maeve Date: 20 Jan 14 - 08:36 PM The lyrics can be found here http://decoda.com/chris-jones-thank-you-rj-reynolds-lyrics - no idea whether they are accurate. Thank You (R.J. Reynolds) by Chris Jones Look at that junkie, strung-out, on what God only knows He ain't washed or shaved in a couple of days and there are stains upon his clothes Now it ain't smack or that cocaine-crack that's brought him to his knees But the fully legal product of the tobacco companies The tobacco companies So thank you R.J. Reynolds for helpin' me look so cool And thank you Phillip Morris for keepin' me company after school And thank you Brown & Williamson, l hope you spent my money well When this is past and I've smoked my last I will see you all in hell l will see you all in hell Now this junkie's not on a street corner, or sleepin' in an alleyway ln fact, l saw him in my own living room about 3 A.M. today His hands were shakin', his will was breakin' and his body bathed in sweat Take a good look, people, this is as low as a man can get As low as a man can get So thank you R.J. Reynolds for helpin' me look so cool And thank you Phillip Morris for keepin' me company after school And thank you Brown & Williamson, l hope you spent my money well When this is past and I've smoked my last I will see you all in hell l will see you all in hell Now, l've got my own two shoulders upon which to place the blame But the companies' false piety, well it bugs me just the same And let us not forget our state and federal government Before I go I'd like to know where all those taxes went, where all those taxes went So thank you R.J. Reynolds for helpin' me look so cool And thank you Phillip Morris for keepin' me company after school And thank you Brown & Williamson, l hope you spent my money well When this is past and I've smoked my last I will see you all in hell ***** http://bluesaudio.co.uk/2013/04/new-old-music/ noted that: "Chris Jones born [in] Reno Nevada in 1958 started playing guitar aged 5 , turning professional at 11. He joined the US Army and died aged 46 with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Chris, a reluctant 30 a day nicotine addict wrote a song "Thank you (R.J.Reynolds)" about his favourite tobacco company. Chris played Blue Grass music with Steve Baker an exquisite blues harmonica player and made two notable albums "Roadhouses & Automobiles" in 2003 and "Smoke and Noise" in the same year. The recording on the first album is fantastic," No Sanctuary Here" is a classic hifi track for deep bass and the liquid harmonica playing by Steve worth a listen." |
