He took all of my emotions away
He said it was for my own good
Depression is a major killer today

After all, learnt his truth is to relay
So I do as I'm told, I suppose I should
He took all of my emotions away

Emotionless life is a stranger way
I cannot cry or sigh, I wish I could
Depression is a major killer today

Strolling in a trance from day to day
Glassy eyed, a brain built like wood
He took all of my emotions away

No more fun or games can I play
Life from a plastic bottle isn't good
Depression is a major killer today

I feel so numb, my reactions delay
It's Doc's fault. I am not understood
He took all of my emotions away
Depression is a major killer today.

FLY DROPPINGS

Don't
let the flies in mate
Don't
hold the door open wide. I
Don't
like chasing them around
all day.
with the spray and
fly swat.
Toxins up my nose, it can’t
be good
for my hay fever and
the environment.
But them little buggers,
I have to kill
before they ruin walls and
benches and curtains with
their dirty little spots.
Kill them
before they kill us
with their germs.

FLY DROPPINGS 2
(Villanelle Style)

Don't let the flies in my house, mate
Don't open the door too bloody wide.
I don't hold much hope for their fate

Tiny creatures flying in here I hate
Toxins up my nose I won't abide
Don't let the flies in my house, mate

To relieve my hay fever I'll hang a bait
But them little buggers sure like to hide
I don't hold much hope for their fate

On TV this little ditty for years relate
In the jingle, made famous it's "Louie Da Fly"
Don't let the flies in my house, mate

On the TV his song is a grade 'A' rate
Spreading germs from rubbish tips far and wide
I don't hold much hope for their fate

Get the Mortein strips before it's too late
Give poor old "Louie" a funeral, he died
Don't let the flies in my house, mate
I don't hold much hope for their fate.
