lyrics

LIFE & I

Just when I thought things couldn't get worse,
Life hit a new low and then,
I got trapped in a lift, run down by a hearse,
And chased by an emu. Again.

Just when I thought things couldn't get badder,
Bad luck appeared right on cue.
Scratched by a cat, crushed under a ladder,
And stuck to a railing with glue.

Life and I, don't get along.
Maybe it's because of my karmic debt.
I don't believe in that stuff and yet,
I stay indoors and play Mah Jong,
'Cos Life and I don't get along.

Just when I thought, my fortunes might change,
Fate got fixated and then,
I was mauled by a bat, contracted the mange,
And a goat ate my trousers. Again.

Now I believe as chapter-and-verse,
No matter how bad things might seem,
Sod's Law dictates they'll surely get worse.
I'll never wake from this dream.

But screw it all, I'll carry on.
I won't give in to my Catholic guilt,
I won't just curl up underneath my quilt.
What didn't kill me didn't make me strong,
But Life and I, we'll struggle on.

Why does this happen to me?
Why is my life such a melodrama?
What medication could make me calmer?
Why can't I be like the Dalai Lama?

But when it's Life, who gets along?
I'm falling like a piece of buttered toast,
But I'm not ready to give up the ghost.
I might be face-down when they ring the gong,
But Life and I, we'll muddle on.

So why do I still carry on,
When Life just makes me want to stay in bed?
I guess it's preferable to being dead.
I dried my tears and put them in a song.

And Life and I, we'll get along,
Yes Life and I, we'll get along.
