DAAS : I Got The Gloomies

Performed at the Edinburgh Fringe 2016 I got the gloomies You’d get them too If you knew everyday would be spent Pushing around a childhood friend Knowing you’d never play badminton again I got the gloomies They’re bringing me down Cos we used to like it a lot We used to love to whack that shuttlecock Now we’ll never play badminton Or hopscotch or leapfrog Forget British bulldog Tag, tug of war and truce And there’s no skip rope or red rover There’s no more four leaf clovers No Marco Polo, tip, no duck duck goose We used to love going out and playing games All night and all day All night and all day Now he can’t play checkers and he can’t play chess He makes a move and leaves a goddamn mess Sometimes I feel like I am losing my shit But not as much as Tim Not as much as him But it’s not about me Though I wish it could be I live with my pain And try and think positively Yeah, I had the gloomies I’m over that now There’s no need to be upset I’ll just find me a new best friend And know that I’ll play badminton again Oh, it’s no disaster I’ll just find me brand new partner And I know that I’ll play badminton again And I know that I’ll play badminton again Yeah, I know that I’ll play badminton again
