All fixed up with mefix again
I thought I was doing so well
it’s such a shame
For now my body’s had another breakdown
And I’ve found myself all fixed up with mefix again
It’s so easy to slip
And find yourself with an intravenous drip
I hardly seemed to do nothing
But I guess I must have done something
to find myself all fixed up with mefix again
Still at least the bonus side to going out with ME
is you need spend nothing on booze, sex and crack cocaine
To find yourself with a massive hangover in intensive care next day
All fixed up with mefix again
Some days the sky is clear, my body vital and alive
Others it showers down with insomnia, IBS and pain
And no matter how hard I try to steer my life
I soon find myself all fixed up with mefix again
Sometimes I wonder if my body’s too broken to be mended
Faced with everything it has to contend with
Yet still I struggle on along with my parents to whom I’m attended
Whilst I’m all fixed up with mefix again
