“Three Packs A Day” marks Courtney Barnett’s first single release since her 2015 album Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit.
Luckily, she keeps up her entertainingly punny lyrics by crafting a song that at first glance seems to be about cigarettes; however, it’s really just about ram...
[Intro]
1, 2, 3, 4
[Verse 1]
I'm down to three packs a day
Of Mi Goreng, I can't explain it
Can't wait for you to go away
'Cause I just crave that meagre taste, yeah
[Chorus]
Boil it up, water in the sauce pan
In a cup, drink it from a silver spoon
[Verse 2]
That MSG tastes good to me
I disagree with all your warnings
It can't be true that they use glue
To keep the noodles stuck together
Two minutes seems like a lifetime
Burn my tongue, patience is a virtue
[Verse 3]
I'm down to three packs a day
I sneak away to find a kettle
I withdraw from all my friends
And their dinner plans, I'm sick of lentils
[Chorus]
Boil it up, water in a sauce pan
In a cup, drink it from a silver spoon
[Outro]
It is no good
It is no good
You say, "It's no good for you"
