Well a good friend of mine was a joiner

And he built me the sturdiest chair

And he sold me the rope, the weight it would cope

Between me and a good foot of air

But apparently the country we live in

Is comfortable selling you junk

The rope it went slack, the chair it collapsed

And gradually my poor heart it sunk

I couldn′t get dead in an earthquake

I couldn't get dead in a storm

Avalanche would flood in my neighbourhood

At surface both happy and warm

I couldn′t get dead in tornado

I couldn't get dead in a ditch

Life tr [?] s on and [?]

And you realise death's just a bitch

Well I filled up the bath with hot water

And plugged myself into the grid

In a cupboard yet high, reached for [?]

But neighbours and friends had it hid

[?] dropped into water

A deadly mixture that′s true

But just like my luck, minor strike struck

And powercut followed that too

I couldn′t get dead in an earthquake

I couldn't get dead in a storm

Avalanche would flood in my neighbourhood

At surface both happy and warm

I couldn′t get dead in tornado

I couldn't get dead in a ditch

Life tr [?] s on and [?]

And you realise deaths just a bitch

Well it′s mental health week on the radio

Mental health on TV

The [?] are talking so much

Nobody's noticing me

The truth is I lost me dear partner

That solemnly made me this pledge

To climb the tallest skyscraper

To find me to the tiniest ledge

I couldn′t get dead in an earthquake

I couldn't get dead in a storm

Avalanche would flood in my neighbourhood

At surface both happy and warm

I couldn't get dead in tornado

I couldn′t get dead in a ditch

Life tr [?] s on [?]

And you realise deaths just a bitch
