lyrics

Hypochondria Is Not An Illness

Everybody has a line that shouldn’t be crossed
You have paid scant regard towards mine
You have needled
You have prodded
You’ve metaphorically brought me to the brink
I’m in a twist and round the bend

On more than one occasion
I’ve been tempted to relieve you of your ailments
With a pillow while you sleep
For no good reason you wake up everyday
With something new to kill you which sadly isn’t me

Hypochondria is not an illness
Though it’s something you may be pleased to know you have
It’s not something you can justify the squalid house you occupy
By saying you’re too sick to tidy up

For no good reason you remind me how you feel
Every hour on the hour ‘psychosomatic fear’
On more than one occasion have I reached for a blunt object
And swung it in the direction of your weak and stupid head

Is it blood, is it pain,
Is it misery you want from me?
Just tell me ‘cause I’m ready and I’m happy to oblige
I’ve heard you complain that you’ve got every disease A-Z
It’s genuinely beginning to grind me down

Is it wrong to wish you really had an illness?
Is it wrong to wish you’re suffering more than me?
If I had to choose an illness for you it’d be laryngitis
But I’m the only one who’s sick here
And I’m only sick of you

Is it blood, is it pain
Is it misery you want from me?
Just tell me ‘cause I’m ready and I’m happy to oblige
Is it blood, is it pain
Is it misery you want from me?
Just tell me ‘cause I’m ready and I’m happy to oblige
Is it blood, is it pain
Is it misery you want from me?
Just tell me ‘cause I’m ready and I’m happy to oblige

I’ve heard you complain that you’ve got every disease A-Z
And it’s genuinely beginning to grind me down
