Ben Lee - Cigarettes Will Kill You Lyrics
You throw me in a pan
You cook me in a can
You stretch me with your hands
You love to watch me bake
And that's your big mistake
Your guest comes in dressed smart
You offer a la carte
You didn't have the heart
And I want a TV embrace
And I, I'm getting off your boiling plate
They swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream
And then be gone
You left me burned and seared
You left me ripped and teared
And older than my years
I should have know at first
That you would leave me hurt
You had to try dessert
No way to let off steam
Don't bother milk or cream
No way to let off steam
And I want a TV embrace
And I, I'm getting off this boiling plate
They swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream
And then be gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
It must feel good to stand above me
While I make you so proud of me
It must feel good that I'm now gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong

You throw me in a pan
You cook me in a can
You stretch me with your hands
You love to watch me bake
You serve me up with cake
And that's your big mistake
Your guest comes in dressed smart
You offer a la carte
You didn't have the heart
And I want a TV embrace
And I, I'm getting off your boiling plate
They swore you'd steal my steam
To feed your dream
And then be gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
You left me burned and seared
You left me ripped and teared

It must feel good that I'm now gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
That moment of horrible self-realization. You're not Heathcliff; you're Dorian Grey.
I heard this song on Triple J before or after just about every Year 12 high school exam I took in 1998. It’s my “Hello Outside World” theme. 😀
Happy 40th birthday Ben Lee!!!
He's done some great songs. I suppose an Australian muso can only make it so far. I reckon john butler trio is underrated as well.
I'm stunned at how *few* views this has! I always thought this was an excellent song (think the lyrics are clever too) and while it's close to 20 years old now, it was a breath of fresh air when it came out and still sounds just as good to me now.
There are a couple of other clips of this song . One with over 700k and another with over 100k .
His moves remind me of a Flash animated dancing robot, as if his body is made of slinkies.
Noise Addict pop queen sounds so damn sincere and I've been a Ben Lee fan since I hear that song
A highly underrated musician. Ben Lee certainly deserves more international recognition.
Better version of the film clip ;)
Better version of the film clip ;)
This should have more views
That one family that pack their dacks when he's letting off steam! xD
Love this song, Ben Lee is a gifted musician
I love this original film clip version.
I'm an older Aussie who grew up with all the '70's music then all the great Australian bands through the '80's and have always adored this track by the very talented Ben Lee. Good stuff Ben and thanks for sharing this (better) video.
I love Ben Lee's music! I also like that he reminds me so much of Chris O'Dowd (early IT Crowd era).
Thats probably who the songs about!
what a song. good old ben lee. i remember the days of him dating clair danes!
