12 Bar Acid Blues

12 Bar Acid Blues - Siobhan Donaghy

Well I found myself in a world of pain

And I thought I'd try to get away

So I went online and booked a trip

I thought I was due a holiday

So I sat right down and wrote to you

Oh dear John those things you do

So I packed my stuff

And cleared the room

Off I go singing a different tune

So I'm in the cab I'm running late

I have no hope within these city gates

I think of things

I should have done

Countless things

I should have brung

Oh no what can I do

The passport check I'm already through

I've got a feeling in my gut

That I'm in a short

Queue for a lot of bad luck

I should have heeded

My father saying

That things will go wrong

If you try to run before you crawl

Well as I found things can get worse

And I'm starting to think I may be cursed

While the kid behind he's kicking me

Posessed by demons on TV

Oh no what can I do

My passport's gone my wallet too

I've eaten fish and I'm feeling sick

I can only hope I'll be landing quick

Well first I knew we were over the creek

And I got so bad I couldn't speak

I was all heated up from Mexico

But I was landing now down in Moscow

Oh no this just won't do

I wanted heat and it's minus two

I'm all chilled up and I'm feeling mad

I couldn't believe it could get this bad

I should have heeded

My father saying

That things will go wrong

If you rush too fast you will fall

Well I'd lost my bags and all I had

Was duty free and a fashion mag

With no cash and no Visa too

I had a lot of explaining to do

Well they said this just won't do

This is counterfit and so are you

Well I found myself without my shoes

In the cold jail cell and I've got the blues

I should have heeded

My father saying

'Cause things did go wrong

When I tried to run and face it head on

Du du-du
