A cheery little waltz examining anxiety and depression! Featuring the exceptional drumming talents of Andre Louis and cover art by Martyn Knapton
lyrics
There are bees in my head
And I wish I was dead sometimes
One is a wasp and it’s counting the cost
Of these lines
Then there’s this dog and he’s trying to hog my attention
He’s making me see that there’s nowt wrong with me
I just need some sunshine with fresh air I’ll be fine
But there’s bees in my head
When there's nothing left and my soul is bereft
I need time
At the end of the day it's an effort to say
that I'm fine
The pressure in here though is something to fear
It’s alarming
I just need a break coz my brain is opaque
But it’s clearing
And there’s bees in my head
The jolly green giant is finding me pliant
He’s compressing my spine
I’m pretending I’m fine
Florence nightingale is plying me with ale
But she pours from her knee cos she has her own bees
Can we leave soon? it’s no fun in this bathroom
But I’m staying calm with a little self harm
As god is my witness I’ll shake off this tinnitus
reclaim my zen and be happy again
But there’s bees in my head
The depths that I’ve plumbed
All may seem moribund
But it’s passing
There are lessons to learn
From emotions that churn
And I’ll learn them
My jiggling knee is a signal to me
That you’re boring
This anxiety is a strange energy
But I’ve got lots to spare and it shows that I care
For these bees in my head
My mind’s on the take and this niceness is fake
But I'm glad that you buy these impressions I make
With such obligation comes endless frustration
There’s always one more it’s relentless there’s more
But all this too shall pass
Ups and downs don’t last
