Barry Adamson - My Friend the Fly lyrics

My friend the fly is a cheeky little mite He enters by the window and he hangs out by the light He guages where I'm at and then he swoops from yay on high And buzzes right up close and says it's me your friend the fly And I fly into a rage as he deceives my point of view He's just a little fly and yes I know that much is true And something touched me on the head and I gave myself a whack And slipped on a banana skin and smack right on my back My friend the fly swoping low begins to sing My ankle has been sprained and now my arm is in a sling He seems to take delight as now he spins and loops the loop My mind is sharp and my eye is keen to land him in the soup As he begins to serenade of things of sheer delight Then focus my attention and my will with all my might And almost flying through the air I give myself a whack Then down a flight of thirteen steps and smack right on my back ooh I'm lying in the hospital it's the thirteenth floor for me No solitude no food is this the life you seek Despite that cheeky so and so's attempts to spoil my day That pretty nurse with the bandages she just can't stay away If you could see what I've become you'd get a strange surprise Indeed I am invisible except for nose and eyes When noone comes to visit then I'm really quite relieved Except when I remember and I really get quite peeved And almost right on cue I hear a buzzing somewhere near My heart begins to swell because one thing is now quite clear He guages where I am at and he swoops from yay on high He buzzes right up close and says it's me your friend the fly He sits upon my noggin and we share a smoke or two And I'm moved to say it's great to have a friend a friend like you No more will I try and beat you down and drive us round the bend Because after all it's me and you the fly my only friend
