What song has these lyrics?

Factual Questions
1

I’ve made several searches on Google, and I’ve never been able to find the song that has these lyrics:

Remember 1970
When a day without a drink
Was more than you could take
(Did you miss her much) well hey,
Never gave her too much thought . . .

It also has a reference to “falling under the wheels” somewhere.

This was on an old tape that I had that also had several Ry Cooder songs, but I’m pretty sure it was by a different artist. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Might it have been Lloyd Cole? I found the lyric referred to here :

Well done reuben

Rich

she left you 1958
when the thought of another fifteen years
was more than she could face
but did you miss her much well hey
you never gave her too much thought
in your newspaper grey
so waste away to morro bay
you never got around to yesterday
but money is for taking yes
and rich is what to be forsaken grey
and giving it away
and even jesus has a price
you’re making credit card donations to television faith healers
born again missionaries come to morro bay
they saved your body but your mind hey
and everything you earned
you’re going to throw it all away
and waste away tomorrow
c.a. is where everybody falls down off the wagon under the wheels
remember 1970
when the thought of a day without a drink
was more than you could face
but did you miss her much well hey
you never gave her too much thought
in your newspaper grey
so waste away to morro bay
saved your body but your mind paid
but money is for taking yes
and rich is what to be forsaken
grey and giving it away
you’re going to hurt somebody if you can
you’re going to make somebody understand
baby you’re a rich man
baby you’re a rich man
