Chocolate Lyrics - The Karma Killers

[Adam M] 

It had been the perfect Friday afternoon, 

The job was almost done. 

The house we were decorating was owned by a little old man, 

forever in the same three piece suit he'd probabbly had since he was demobbed. 

He seemed to be forever on his way to the post office, 

carrying brown paper ansd string wrapped parcels under his arm. 

He'd bring us out china cups of camp coffee and plates of custard cream biscuits 

[Adam E] 

The house had belonged to his parents who had both passed away within weeks of each other, a few years back. 

They were the only people he had ever lived with, this was the only house he had ever lived in. 

I wondered what would happen to the house when he's gone 

It was a short walk to my bedsit, once a similar house to the old man's, now broken into lots of single room accomodation 

It also once had a great garden like his, now occupied by one-storey modern block building, containing the dentist and chiropodist 

[Chorus] 

In my room was an electric cooker, which I only used in winter to keep warm, 

Next to that was a sink with a glass shelf above it, on which was a toothbrush and carton of marlboro's 

I baked a chocolate cake but the next minute I came back in the kitchen, my children ate it 

Now I need to make another chocolate cake and maybe chocolate fudge brownies for extra 

There was a table with a chair in one corner, a single bed in the other, and about four sq ft in the middle. 

There was a wooden drawer under the bed with most of my clothes in, the rest was over the back of the chair 

[Evan] 

I had a record player on a table and boxes of records underneath. 

The bathroom for the first and the second floor was opposite my room, 

It had a meter for the water which took two 50pence pieces, you'd have to wait half an hour for the water to heat up, and keep an eye on the door in case some sod pinched your bath. 

There was one toilet upstairs and one outside, but no one used the outside one anymore, so it was where the local prostitutes would take their clients for a quickie 

[Nathan] 

So I was sat on my usual bar stool in my usual pub by 6.30, the usual twelve or so regulars in at this time of the evening, nice and 

Relaxed before the post 8.00 crush, we'd crowd around the tiny bar then pool tables, the house rule for fool was winner stays on, 

You'd chalk your name on the blackboard, and wait your turn 

The challenger would pay for the game, so if you were good, you 'd 

Play all night, tonight I was great 

[Chorus] 

In my room was an electric cooker, which I only used in winter to keep warm, 

Next to that was a sink with a glass shelf above it, on which was a toothbrush and carton of marlboro's 

I baked a chocolate cake but the next minute I came back in the kitchen, my children ate it 

Now I need to make another chocolate cake and maybe chocolate fudge brownies for extra 

There was a table with a chair in one corner, a single bed in the other, and about four sq ft in the middle. 

There was a wooden drawer under the bed with most of my clothes in, the rest was over the back of the chair 

[Passenger] 

This world has up and gone crazy 

I'm out here working trying to make it 

Girl, it's so rough in this city 

There ain't no resting for the weary 

So baby feel me, I need something to feel 

So my spirit can heal, babe 

Your cocoa skin against mine, babe 

Is all I need to help revive me 

Just touch me and I feel pure, pure love 

You're the only thing I'm ever sure of, your love I'm sure of 

I need some reminding that God is still, He's still behind me 

So baby, come take my soul and set me free 

[Chorus] 

In my room was an electric cooker, which I only used in winter to keep warm, 

Next to that was a sink with a glass shelf above it, on which was a toothbrush and carton of marlboro's 

I baked a chocolate cake but the next minute I came back in the kitchen, my children ate it
