Another day

The yard is full of hard rubbish, it's a mess and

We should amend that

I pull the sheets back

It's 40 degrees

And I feel like I'm dying

Life's getting hard in here

So I do some gardening
F                                        C
Anything to take my mind away from where it's 'sposed to be

The nice lady next door talks of green beds

And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them

Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes

Feel like I'm emphysem-in

My throat feels like a funnel

Filled with Weet-Bix and kerosene and

Oh no, next thing I know

They call up triple O

I'd rather die than owe the hospital

Till I get old

Post-overdosing kick start

Halfway down high street, Andy looks ambivalent

Should've stayed in bed today

An asthma puffer
