Patience Lyrics by Mark Lenover

Safe As Houses

0

Bring me my breakfast in bed
I’ve got frogs in my throat
I’ve got aches in my head
I’ve got tumours propagating like rabbits
In warrens burrowed in my brain
But they aren’t nearly as cute as they pretend to be
The little one’s chew and the bigger one’s scream
At each other all night, when I’m trying to sleep
So I don’t catch a wink
I’ve got trouble with humours and rats at my spine
I’ve got bats in my belfry and crusts on my eyes
If I dropped dead this minute I wouldn’t be surprised
And you’d see things my way

You caught mе at a bad time
But if you pay some attention
I think I’ll survivе
I’ll need several expensive operations
To get me through the night
Alright, you caught me
No, really, I’m fine
I can handle the cramps
It’s not your cross, it’s mine
I can manage, so go back to your party
I’ll be alright…
Though I’ve got nails in my shoes and pins under my nails
My teeth chatter too, I’m incredibly pale
I guess I’ll trundle on, until my kidneys fail
I can’t have much time
It’s easy to see that I’m grinding my gears
I’ve got smoke in my lungs, I’ve got bells in my ears
And I can’t help but wonder, will you miss me my dear?
Will you see things my way?
