Tropical Diseases

from Office Doodles by The Weary Band

/

about

A song about commuting to work and other things.

Recorded live onto 8-track tape with keys and things added later on ProTools.

lyrics

Everybody's walking to the station.
Their faces look so downcast and so sad.
This is all, this is all on your terms.
This is all, this is all we have.

And then you throw-in Tropical Diseases,
and heartache that will never go away.
And children who walk around unwanted,
and dead-beats who will die before their day.

Why so mad am i?
Don't make me laugh I might cry.
Why so mad am i?
Mad am i?

But this is not an ordinary morning.
Today i found-out things about myself.
I'm not full of courage only worry.
Worry for the future of my health.

Why so mad am i?
Don't make me laugh i might cry.
Why so mad am i?
Mad am i?

When every single day is such an effort
and every single night is so serene.
You realise that sleep is all that you want.
You fantasize that death is but a dream.
