Album: Bastinado (bonus disc)
Hey! - sometimes I look at myself and,
Some reflections tell the story of a broken man,
All this and all mine,
My mind is on fire,
Take the tablets - stay in bed,
And everything is fine.
And you know you'll never laugh like that again,
Well that's alright everything's fine,
Swallow the pill,
It's better when you're levelled by the sadness,
And the madness,
The bottle's shaking in my mind,
Could you understand why,
There's trouble in your hand,
Why? They just fail to understand.
Lie down - relax and just describe to me where it hurts,
And most your thoughts on how your body feels,
Prescribe your prescriptions,
It won't change a thing,
Symptomatic of the shaking of this new disease.
And you know you'll never laugh like that again,
Well that's okay everything is gay,
Swallow the pill,
It's better when you're levelled by the sadness,
And the madness,
The bottle's shaking in my mind,
Could you understand why,
There's trouble in your hand,
Why? They just fail to understand.
Levelled by the sadness,
And the madness,
The bottle's shaking in my mind,
Could you understand why,
There's trouble in your hand.
Why? They just fail to understand.
And I don't blame myself
For feeling like I do,
And I can't leave myself
In spite of you.
Hey! I am loathed to face
Another forty years.
Hey! I am loathed to face
A stomach full of tears.
Someone, somewhere,
You've got to help me please,
I can feel the pressure building with Peroxatine,
Looking at you, looking at me,
I can feel it bangin' down...... (?)
..What I feel (?)
And you know you'll never laugh like that again,
Well that's OK everything is gay,
Swallow the pill,
It's better when you're levelled by the sadness,
And the madness,
The bottle's shaking in my mind,
Could you understand why,
Crumble in your hand.
Why? They just fail to understand.
levelled by the madness sung over a few times.
oooooooo, ooo, ooooo
