Ashes To Ashes
The bowler's running in, the batsman lights a fag
He keeps a packet handy and it's lodged inside his pad
Because it's written in his contract that after every over
He has to have a smoke just to satisfy the sponsor
In a bid to save the sport he sacrifices his health
His inning is getting shorter and so is his breath
Seems the price of survival involves a cigarette
Making money out of sport and choking it to death
De Cenizas a Cenizas
El lanzador se acerca, el bateador enciende un cigarrillo
Siempre tiene un paquete a mano y lo guarda dentro de su protector
Porque está escrito en su contrato que después de cada turno
Debe fumar para satisfacer al patrocinador
En un intento por salvar el deporte, sacrifica su salud
Su entrada se acorta y también su aliento
Parece que el precio de sobrevivir implica un cigarrillo
Ganar dinero con el deporte y asfixiarlo hasta la muerte
