Under the weather © PETER ANDERSSON A MUSIC PARODY BASED ON: "LIPSTICK AND LEATHER" BY: Y & T BONUS QUOTE: "My doctor gave me two weeks to live, I hope they're in August." RONNIE SHAKES		Having been knocked out by a horrible case of the man flu that during its peak had me praying for swift release by death during sleep I finally got up again and started looking for an original song to match the phrase "under the weather" that I could use for a parody song and to write off remaining angst. I came up with "lipstick and leather" by the great 80s band Y & T, a four man act that had everything Van Halen had (except for a good band name, commercial hits and worldwide fame) and though I haven't listened that much to them over the last years I must say that the albums "In rock we trust" (1984) and especially "Down for the count" (1985) IMHO have survived the test of time. I am sick I'll admit I have scratched I'm unfit I am blotched around Stuck on can Huff and puff And I kinda slough And I never knew my brain cells could be so riled I haven't been down like this in awhile Under the weather Stuck in bed Under the weather Viral infection's made a mess of my head I feel scrapped I feel maimed Muscles' cracked And veins feel drained It puts me down Slap me round Lungs feel halved And boy I've ralphed I'm unsteady, chilling, almost deceased Such days are hell - when you're down on your knees So I - had me some grogs that I couldn't contain There's now a green, green slime that fills my bedroom domain Under the weather Legs of lead Under the weather And swelled head The flu gets you down Red face like a traffic light And when it has you down Fever, high, makes you burn all night Under the weather Bod is red Under the weather Underfed I have spit I have crutched First aid kit Helped like shit It has knocked me down I need a ME back up Yeah, I've lost it all And my wind from cough Holy shit - I'm just nerve tract remains Reddish-brown when I pee And I pill-pop for pain Under the weather Almost dead Cos this viral infection's caused abyss in my head Under the weather Stuck in bed Under the weather Think I'm dead Under the weather © Peter Andersson 2007
