Simultaneous Mischievous Smiles

from Harijan by Harijan

lyrics

Our friends are round for the weekend
I guarantee it’ll be one for the book
We’ve settled down with our weed now
But the booze still plays a vital role
Half an ounce should be plenty
we don’t intend to do much for a while
Kick back and light up a big one
Simultaneous mischievous smiles

A morning J
To set the tone of our day
Instant escape
A quiet relief I am at ease
The music plays more grateful ears
These tunes they sound so good
Hand me the strings, I’m high I write
Like I thought I never could

I like to roll for my breakfast
It gets me straight before I go to work
I roll again when I get back
The perfect wind-down take me to the plain
Our pay is in, weed is plenty
There are no stresses for the next few nights
My mind expands to the off-beat
Superior music I fuckin’ swear

The dog-eat-dog
World that we have to put up with
It has to be
The main reason we do this shit
So, don’t feed me that tabloid crap of negativity
So far so good I’m holding up with a grin that’s as wide as my mind

I woke up today and I thought never again
For so long denied that its nothing but a trap
I’m broken and burnt and it’s fucked my mental health
I remember the days when it gave me such joy

You can never find peace when dependant on a high
Cos you’re running away when you should be fronting up
As you see what it shows and the message has sunk in
It’s a struggle at first
But you break free into life’s real high

Our friends are round for the weekend
I guarantee it’ll be one for the book
We’ve settled down with our weed now
But the booze still plays a vital role
Half an ounce should be plenty
we don’t intend to do much for a while
Kick back and light up a big one
Simultaneous mischievous smiles

A morning J
To set the tone of our day
Instant escape
A quiet relief I am at ease
The music plays more grateful ears
These tunes they sound so good
Hand me the strings, I’m high I write
Like I thought I never could
