Woke up this morning desperation a. m
(Love crops up quite a lot as something to sing about, cos most groups)
What I’ve been saying won’t say them again
(Make most of their songs about falling in love, or how happy they are)
My head’s not empty, it’s full with my brain
(To be in love. You occasionally wonder why these groups)
The thoughts I’m thinking, like piss down a drain
(Do sing about it all the time, piss down a drain)
And I feel like a beetle on its back
(It's because these groups think there’s something very special about it)
And there’s no way for me to get up
(Either that or else it’s because everybody else sings about it and always has)
Love’ll get you like a case of anthrax
(You know to burst into song you have to be inspired, and nothing inspires)
And that’s something I don’t want to catch
(Quite like love)
Ought to control what I do to my mind
(These groups and singers think that they appeal to everyone)
Nothing in there but sunshades for the blind
(By singing about love because apparently everyone has or can)
Only yesterday I said to myself
(Love, I said to myself)
The things I’m doing aren’t good for my health
(Or so they would have you believe anyway, but these groups)
And I feel like a beetle on its back
(Seem, like a beetle on its back)
And there’s no way for me to get up
(To go along with what, the belief that love is deep in everyone’s personality)
Love’ll get you like a case of anthrax
(I don’t think we’re saying there’s anything wrong with love, we just don’t
think that)
And that’s something I don’t want to catch
(What goes on between two people should be shrouded with mystery)
Love’ll get you like a case of anthrax
And that’s something I don’t want to catch
Love’ll get you like a case of anthrax
And that’s something I don’t want to catch
