A Benylin Junkie

You’ll have to count me out, I'm a man off a mission
Permanently stuck in the recovery position
Been diagnosed with bed-lag but that won’t paint me blue
If I can’t get some Night Nurse, then Calpol will do

And before anyone scoffs
It isn't for kicks - it's for coughs
I'm asleep at the organ along with the monkey
I'm under control I'm A Benylin Junkie

Any kind of effort makes me feel lousy
It did say on the bottle that it could well make me drowsy
That’s just the price I’m happy to pay
To stick my head in the sand and wish it all away

And before anyone scoffs
It isn't for kicks - it's for coughs
I'm asleep at the organ along with the monkey
I'm under control I'm A Benylin Junkie

Gotta keep my head down I’m hiding from the sun
I’d get my shit together…but this duvet weighs a ton
On a snail-blazing quest to make things even easier
I'm a low-octane loser with a taste for anaesthesia

And before anyone scoffs
It isn't for kicks - it's for coughs
I'm asleep at the organ along with the monkey
I'm under control I'm A Benylin Junkie
