Melancholia Lyrics
My coffee's cold, my paper's old
My heart is sold to melancholia
My clothes are torn, my shoes are worn
My heart is born to melancholia
A strange surprise, what I despised in other guys is here in me
They lose their girl, they lose their world
Then they cry for all to see
I've never felt so bad
The virus drives me mad
The sheets are gray, left since the day she went away, I lost all power
The dust is thick, the dog is sick, the kids have picked most of the flowers
The sun is shining, but not for me
The sun is shining, but not for me
I've never felt so bad
The virus drives me mad
The sheets are gray, left since the day she went away, I lost all power
The dog is sick, the dust is thick, the kids have picked
Most of the flowers
Loon at the Bag O'Nails.....
My heart is sold to melancholia
My clothes are torn, my shoes are worn
My heart is born to melancholia
They lose their girl, they lose their world
Then they cry for all to see
I've never felt so bad
The virus drives me mad
The dust is thick, the dog is sick, the kids have picked most of the flowers
The sun is shining, but not for me
I've never felt so bad
The virus drives me mad
The dog is sick, the dust is thick, the kids have picked
Most of the flowers

Obviously about depression.
This song is awesome, why hasn't anybody commented?
you just did crashkaboom lol
this song is excellent, reminds me of early pink floyd for some reason. definitely one of the who's best. i didn't know it was "the fires drive me mad", i always thought it was "the virus drives me mad". still an awesome song..
I think he's saying my cup is cold in the first sentence...
I am 100% sure he sings "The virus drives me mad" and not "The fires drive me mad".
Totally under-rated. Lesser songs by the Who got more attention and accolades. Way ahead of it's time.
It's definitely 'virus' not 'fires'. And it's "Loon at the Bag O'Nails...." at the end.
