about

This was how I was feeling at the time and the expression 'The Fear" is based on "Withnail and I" I also wanted to prove I could write 'a real song' The opening "Oh I" was Elvis Costello inspired I would say.

lyrics

Oh I really need a girlfriend
It’s awful to be in them as I remember
Humiliating to begin them
But I’ve forgotten just why since then

TO me love is just a weakness
Still I don’t deny that I seek this
Bombarded by temptation
By the barmaids and the waitress

A fear that whispers coldly ‘You’ve got nothing to give”
A fear that shouts a piercing cheer “You don’t deserve to live.”

The fear is here
It’s in your beer
You wish you were dead
