about

when depression's like the flu

lyrics

i bet you any money that this time tomorrow
i'll be myself again - my ordinary self
but that doesn't change things that are happening right now
as we speak i'm aching, weak and just really mad

i bet you that i have got some kind of influenza
and i'll be right as rain when the rain is gone
but that doesn't help me as i'm one big lousy puddle today
as we speak i'm aching, weak and trying to hold on

don't give me guarantees
they don't do too much for me

i'm cold right now and i'm burning up
i'm so cold right now and i've had quite enough
i know what you're thinking, how, i really can't explain
i'm just cold right now and i'm burning up up up up and up again

maybe i should trust them when they say i'm looking for attention
i've not been hugged today but 8 hugs seems like an unrealistic goal to me
to be healthy is to love the life you're breathing in
and to share it willingly with anyone else

i bet you any money that this time tomorrow
i'll breathe in life again - really give it a toke

i don't need no guarantee
they have never worked for me

i'm cold right now
i'm so cold right now and i've had more than enough
some kind of influenza
some kind of influenza
some kind of spoken cadenza
oh yeah

about

O Memorie Brooklyn, New York

"O Memorie is at times dark and haunting as it is bright and up-lifting. The songs are thought provoking and powerful. One need not wait until the dead of night to listen to them, as they sound just as good on an overcast afternoon." Divide & Conquer Music ... more
