Steve Hackett - The Marijuana Assa**in Of Youth lyrics

Marijuana, a**a**in of youth And so look now here's the truth As we wish you all a Perry Sherry Christmas With a Partridge Family or two And when you go to church You'll remember with a smirk All the crazy little things you used to do "...Let's have a truly Mexican welcome For Ronnie and the Romeos..." I asked my girlfriend to marry me Yes I thought how happy we'd be I knew she'd be thrilled at least be pleased But these were the words she said to me You need a haircut and then a degree Don't you want to start a family Take a stand and make some real cash Sell your guitar and throw away your stash I had a headache lasted five days I knew that somehow there must be a way Cleaned the car and emptied the trash Before she got home I had to get smashed I moved out on my own formed a new band We played every Goddamn dive in the land
