Former Lorry Driver Songtext
von Orouni

I′m a former lorry driver
I had to give it up
A tumor on my gall bladder, knocked me off the road
When I started to lose my appetite, I was given a scan
Anaemia struck my body too, I had lost ten pounds
So I'll enjoy the little time that is left
And spend it with the ones I love
Now I′m fit to know I'm going to wait for
Death calmly, I've got six months to live
I have planned my own funeral, no show as the coffin I lie in
They took our money out of the bank
We spent it last Christmas together
The bad news came so I got a motorbike
It′s a dream that I had always wanted to buy As for my wife, she drives in a car
She′ll be independent after I die
So I'll enjoy the little time that is left
And spend it with the ones I love
Now I′m good to know I'm going to wait for
Death calmly, I′ve got six months to live
You're only suffering from an abscess
It is not cancer, it is harmless
It means you won′t leave us so soon
I don't get it, I'm so devastated, I′m an absolute wreck
The powerful drugs that I need, I spit to, have destroyed my health
Far from being delighted by this news, I don′t know how I'll cope
This reprieve has ruined my life, I really thought I′d die
