First Drag of The Day — текст песни (Bob Mould)

Dont make me do it, dont make me sell the things I love

Theres too much happening in this world

Dont choose the other side right away

Its been left alone for a while



If I can get to the words before that first smoke

Everything seems to come out differently



Leaving a large hole in my hip

Ive never tried to quit

Here I go with the first drag of the day

Sometimes it makes me fall backwards on back into bed



Dont stop me, dont correct me

Please dont interfere with me

Im trying to write as fast as I can

Yesterday wasnt so bad

I thought it a little worse than it was

I dont know why I tried to sabotage my day

I wanted everything my own way



I wanted it all my own way, so dont apologize

I learn to devise these ways of explaining away



Happenstance, you dont let me take a stand

And it sits inside on the great white picket fence deep inside

Someday that fence is going to fall in your yard

And I hope you didnt plant anything too precious too close to the boundary



Its starting to sound like its time to sign off

But for once, I feel like something might have happened



Maybe I cant show this to you

Maybe I cant show you everything

Some things have to be precious and pure

Some things have to stay inside of me



Or else Ive given everything away

I wanted it all this way

I learn to devise these ways of explaining away



So dont blame me, I wont blame you

Its just the first drag of the day
