You've given up the filthy habit good good good good good The heavy smokers who used to be my allies I'm a traitor bloody Judas You of all people But one of the one of the good things or the new things about giving up smoking is that I now have my sense of smell back I Can actually get up in the morning and open a window throw it up and breathe it And smell again petrol Carbon monoxide dog shit I mean this taste I Actually thought when I used to eat food. It was the smoking. It was it. I had no taste. It's not the smoke. It's the food Bloody tasteless Somebody said to me the other day shall we eat or have a McDonald's?
