Trying to write a feel good song in bad times/ Trying to look straight ahead but paths wind/ Keep my head up and follow the cat eyes/ Every time I steady the ship, I capsize/ Pastimes pass time and that’s fine/ But zips by and it’s gone and that’s life/ I act like I’m invincible and have time/ Is dementia genetic am I stuck on my Dad’s side?/ Who knows, kudos to you though/ It’s enough waking up without wanting to judo/ Chop…every person who gets in your way/ When you didn’t even wanna bother getting up today// CHORUS But the blues ain’t forever/ x2 Just the usual weather/ x2 This int a foolish endeavour/ x2 We can do it together// x2 Keep having dreams/ Even if no-one believes in them/ Breathe in and be free/ Things aren’t as bleak as they seem/ Keep having dreams/ Even if no-one believes in them/ Breathe out any doubt/ Things aren’t as bleak as they seem// Trying to write a feel good song but feel crap/ Mental health grabs the top of your noggin and peels back/ Or kicks the heck out of your energy with steel caps/ …Everyone’s self esteem reveals gaps/ But the person in charge is you/ Many simple tasks we can hardly do/ …Waking up in the morning is carnage too/ Wanna kill yourself before you’ve had a brew/ Stop…put the kettle on/ Put some good hip-hop or some metal on/ Don’t put the news or the telly on/ And don’t take any crap from anyone// CHORUS Tried to write a feel good song but hate lots/ Posed selfie taking, likes and faceswaps/ Celebrity worship, sycophants, name drops/ That factory they have in hell that makes pop/ If there’s a bad smell people don’t wanna sniff it/ But bad sounds in your ears – people live with it/ You are the product – of what you put in your body/ That’s why everyone seems to cut or they copy/ Couldn’t we probably start again and agree that love for a hobby’s/ A greater purpose than needing people to look at you properly?/ Cos you emulate them and you look like twins/ We get the blues sometimes cos we don’t fit in// CHORUS Tried to write a feel good album, guess what?/ It still came out a little jaded and pissed off/ But I did all the production and there’s no guest spots/ And it makes me smile so I gave it my best shot/ I needed this the reason is my recent thing is being miserable/ I’m stuck between this feeling that I’m pitiful/ For not being a stronger individual/ Versus falling apart cos my Dad’s in an assisted living home/ …Cos people have got it worse/ And everybody dies, at least he was there from birth/ At least he was spared the curse/ Of being aware that we are despairing at the unfairness as people prepare him to leave the earth/…//
