Smokie Video (MV)

They called him Smokie - coolest guy in school
They called him Smokie - he was the one to rule

In the morning, first to light up a fag
And in breaks, you could see him smoke - in the yard
All the girls were looking keen on him
And after a while, their smoke surrounded him

He never wore a helmet on his bike
And then the leather jacket - just so James Dean like
He didn't ever say much of a thing
Except to ask, if you'd got a cig

They called him Smokie - coolest guy in school
They called him Smokie - he was the one to rule

People felt very much cooler with him
So even boys admired his straight chin
It's been some years, since I've seen him the last time
But I love to remember this good old friend of mine
Now it comes to me, I read it in the local news
He passed away, spending his last weeks - in the hospital
Got lung cancer, but he never sang the blues

They called him Smokie - coolest guy in school
They called him Smokie - he was the one to rule

I'm still smoking and coughing am I too
I hope you join me - I did join him too
People look at me - how I can feel their eyes!
Smoking is cool! I wont tell no lies

They called him Smokie - coolest guy in school
They called him Smokie - he was the one to rule
They called him Smokie - coolest guy in school
They called him Smokie - he was the one to rule
