about

The words in this song are not intended to disparage people suffering from drug addiction.

lyrics

No next of kin
No next of kin
Count the angels on the head of a pin

That doesn't take the pain away
An old woman died on the fifth of may
Stabbed for her purse by a junkie
Who couldn't speak Spanish in the face of easy prey

"Ayudame", she cried on her holiday

No blood line
No blood line
While the old man lived his family died

But that didn't change his routine
Played cribbage with friends, breakfast every week
Held up outside the holiday by a junkie
Because he'd stopped for change

Nickel a hole was the weekly game

"Help me", he cried on his holiday
"Help me", she cried on her holiday
