[Verse 1]
Mary Jane
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
When you touch my mouth
I levitate
You take these bitter thoughts in my brain
And let them fall like summer rain
Sweet Mary Jane (Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet)
[Verse 2]
Mmm, codeine
Silent, marvellous codeine
How I miss your chemical hug
Since I've been clean, ooh
You hold me better than any man did
And no one's done it like you since
Codeine, mmm
[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
And codeine can kill any pain
[Verse 3]
Mmm, red wine
You always gave me the best advice, mmm
You gave me courage (Gave me)
To call the man who makes me cry
And I bought three bottles 'cause I tend to drink you dry
Mmm, oh, how we've danced tonight
Red wine
[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane (Yeah)
And codeine can kill any pain
[Verse 4]
Mandy, dear
Oh, when I met you, we had quite the year
You showed me love so pure, so strong
Then left me in bed so alone
You're a stone cold bitch in the morning, aren't you?
Aren't you, Mandy?
[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane (Sweet Mary Jane)
And codeine can kill any pain

It is a love song to my addiction. There was a time when I was so lonely, and I was letting down everyone I loved, and I couldn’t explain why. Again, something that no one would know. We keep it in silence. You do hear substance abuse being glamorised by rappers, but it’s historically always been gr...
A messed up love song to addictions. Substance abuse is something seldom talked about, a dangerous burden that becomes so powerful when untamed. I wanted to create a space to talk honestly about such a subject. Especially as a woman, in fear of becoming vilified or unattractive or a mess, hoping peo...
I’m an all-or-nothing person in every aspect of my life. So, when something dangerous is introduced [substances], it can get really bad-really, really bad. The lyrics in this song are dark, but substance abuse can really, really take you there. It’s a love song married with a slightly uneasy feeling...
