about

Anyone who knew me during my early adult years will remember how I used to enjoy boring newcomers to my circle with a string of shaggy dog stories. This is based on one of them.

lyrics

This guy came up and offered me a Green Glove Cigarette,

He's the worst person that I've ever met,

I wasn't upset at the sight of the man,

But worried by what he held in his hand.


Don't ever offer me a Green Glove Cigarette,

It's the one infernal product I'll always regret,

They've destroyed all my family and taken my friends,

Green Glove Cigarettes are the living end.


Chorus

Green Glove Cigarettes aren't all that they seem,

Smoking them won't send you into a dream,

But don't buy them or sell them,

Or even give them away,

Whoever you are I don't want to play.


Don't even show me a Green Glove Cigarette,

I'll get very angry and that is no threat,

Seeing the packet causes such pain,

I'll relive the nightmares again and again.


Before I met your mother she couldn't forget,

The guilt surrounding a Green Glove Cigarette,

If you think this cigarette is a real treat,

You're not the sort of person that I'd want to meet.


Chorus
