Ashes To Ashes Lyrics - Chumbawamba

The bowler's running in, the batsman lights a fag 

He keeps a packet handy and it's lodged inside his pad 

Because it's written in his contract that after every over 

He has to have a smoke just to satisfy the sponsor 

In a bid to save the sport he sacrifices his health 

His inning is getting shorter and so is his breath 

Seems the price of survival involves a cigarette 

Making money out of sport and choking it to death
