lyrics

More soup or I’m going to waste away
You see I can’t swallow my food
My head’s so hot I can’t focus my brain
Or lighten up my mood

I’m in a sports car
Letting rip through roads with hidden bends
I’m on the waltzer
Spinning fast on rides that never end

And is it you who’s making me
Feel this bad?
Can it really be you who’s making me
Feel this bad?
Is it down to you that I should
Feel this bad?
Or will I be alright with a course of penicillin V?
A course of penicillin V

Seems these days I’m on the periphery
Lost puppy, trailing round
I feel I’ve missed the point completely
Still standing when you’ve all gone to ground

A hammer to knock my brains out
A saw to sever nerves
A chisel to change my features
Sandblast them all to curves

I can’t believe it’s you who’s making me
Feel this bad
I was never so gone you could
Make me feel this bad
It can’t be down to you that I should
Feel this bad
I know I’ll be alright with a shot
Of penicillin V
A shot of penicillin V

Mix me a nostrum for each cough and sneeze
There’s nothing a strong dose of tablets won’t ease
I thought it was losing you made me feel poor
But it’s only a bug and I’m taking the cure
