And all the ni

[Verse 2]

My hands are s

On my own two 

feet

Filled with We

Oh no, next th

Straight to th

Had too much p

Couldn't sleep

Halfway down h

He's probably

The paramedic 

thinks I'm cle

ver cos I play

 guitar
             
I think she's 

              
clever cos she

  
 stops people 

dying

Anaphylactic a
