DROWNING LIKE A FLY IN MY DRINK
YOU DRONE ABOUT BEING ON THE BRINK
BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK
OH I'M SICK OF IT ALL
SICK OF IT ALL
I HATE THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
HATE RECRIMINATION AND BLAME
AND YOU JUST WAIT FOR ME TO FUCK UP AGAIN
OH I'M SICK OF IT ALL
SICK OF IT ALL
THE WAYS YOU TRY AND PUT ME DOWN
SWEET REVENGE FOR THE THINGS I'VE DONE
THE WAYS YOU TRY AND TWIST ME AROUND
"GIVE ME A TASTE OF MY OWN MEDICINE"
DROWNING LIKE A FLY IN MY DRINK
YOU WHINE ABOUT BEING OUT OF SYNCH
BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK
OH I'M SICK OF IT ALL
SICK OF IT ALL
I HATE THE WAY YOU WANT ME TO BE
HATE REGRET AND HUMILITY
AND YOU JUST WAIT FOR ME TO FALL AT YOUR FEET
OH I'M SICK OF IT ALL
SICK OF IT ALL
THE WAYS YOU TRY AND RUN ME DOWN
MAKE ME PAY FOR THE THINGS I'VE BEEN
THE WAYS YOU TRY AND PUSH ME AROUND
ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS WIN
ANY LOVE YOU ONCE FELT FOR ME
HAS TURNED INTO THIS TRAVESTY
OF SELFISHNESS AND JEALOUSY
SO WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET ME GO?
ANY LOVE YOU ONCE FELT FOR ME
HAS TURNED INTO THIS TRAVESTY

SO WHY CAN'T I JUST LET YOU GO?

Probably the greatest metaphor I know...drowning like a fly in my drink...she suffers (the fly drowns), but instead of suffering with her, it bothers him (he is sick of it all / wants to get rid og the fly in his drink)...great!!
this must be a girls monologue
i totally disagree with jancsibohoc. It probably works for both men and women. It's the feeling of being in a relationship where the partner has been consumed with setting little traps, 'testing' the other's love and waiting around to pounce on every mistake. It's the feeling of being pushed away by such behaviour and ceasing to give a fuck.
underated song on wild mood swings, that cd had some great songs, too bad it gets overlooked.
yes way overlooked great lyrics

My guess this is about RS relationship with long time friend and band member Lol Tolhurst whom he sacked 1989 for drinking problems. Lol sued RS in 1991 for royalties and lost. I believe they're on somewhat speaking terms now, but their relationship was sour for a long time.
