[00:40.25] I sleep in late
[00:41.88] Another day
[00:43.92] Oh what a wonder
[00:46.04] Oh what a waste.
[00:48.17] It's a monday
[00:49.88] It's so mundane
[00:52.32] What exciting things
[00:54.09] Will happen today?
[00:56.53] The yard is full of hard rubbish it's a mess and
[01:00.63] I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab
[01:04.74] We should ammend that
[01:07.07] I pull the sheets back
[01:08.84] It's 40 degrees
[01:10.45] And i feel like i'm dying.
[01:13.44] Life's getting hard in here
[01:15.29] So i do some gardening
[01:17.43] Anything to take my mind away from where it's s'posed to be.
[01:21.25] The nice lady next door talks of green beds
[01:25.47] And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them
[01:30.26] I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps.
[01:33.82] Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes.
[01:38.64] I feel pro-active
[01:40.90] I pull out weeds
[01:42.94] All of a sudden
[01:44.49] I'm having trouble breathing in.*3
[02:37.41] My hands are shaky
[02:39.23] My knees are weak
[02:41.54] I can't seem to stand
[02:43.13] On my own two feet
[02:45.49] I'm breathing but i'm wheezing
[02:47.16] Feel like i'm emphysem-in'
[02:49.40] My throat feels like a funnel
[02:51.12] Filled with weet bix and kerosene and
[02:53.34] Oh no, next thing i know
[02:55.71] They call up triple o
[02:58.08] I'd rather die than owe the hospital
[03:01.21] Till I get old
[03:02.69] I get adrenaline
[03:04.16] Straight to the heart
[03:06.01] I feel like Uma Thurman
[03:07.85] Post-overdosing kick start
[03:10.52] Reminds me of the time
[03:12.41] When i was really sick and i
[03:14.23] Had too much pseudoephedrine and i
[03:16.44] Couldn't sleep at night
[03:18.24] Halfway down high street, andy looks ambivalent
[03:21.97] He's probably wondering what i'm doing getting in an ambulance
[03:27.02] The paramedic thinks i'm clever cos i play guitar
[03:30.38] I think she's clever cos she stops people dying
[03:35.19] Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic
[03:39.07] Should've stayed in bed today
[03:41.05] I much prefer the mundane.
[03:43.72] I take a hit from
[03:45.76] An asthma puffer
[03:47.83] I do it wrong
[03:49.19] I was never good at smoking bongs.
[03:53.55] I'm not that good at breathing in.*3
