The vault of lost lyrics, chapter 15

You know, sometimes you have one of those days. Weeks. Months. Well ... whatever. You know how this feels. Or at least I do.


"I'm Going Slightly Mad" (as recorded by Queen)

When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you — oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue

I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened
It finally happened

I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not at my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree

I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad

I'm knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast, it's true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But, my dear, how about you?

I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad!
Just very slightly mad
And there you have it...
