Heavy Living Lyrics - Ian Dury

Heavy living is the life that I've led 

See the daylight through a curtain of red 

Stands to reason why I'm staying in bed 

Heavy living off the top of my head 

Heavy living, 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 corroder 

Heavy bangers is another way 

To let yourself go 

Heavy living's the condition I'm in 

I wished I hadn't if I knew where I'd been 

The air is cold, the membrane is thin 

Heavy living's getting under my skin

Heavy sausage is the price you pay 

At the café 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 led 

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 corroder 

Heavy bangers is another way 

To let yourself go 

Heavy make-up for the matinée 

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 roundelay 

Heavy living is the way I'll stay, 

As if I don't know
