about

A reflection on somatising responses to bereavement, often overlooked. Originally written in CGDFGC tuning, but recorded here in the lazier CGCEGC.

lyrics

I kept on working, I went to work, and kept on singing (for what it's worth); I saw my friends, didn't try to hide, but my guts are fucked since you died. I kept on eating and drinking too, I slept at night, didn't dream of you, talked to a counsellor and never cried, but my guts are fucked since you died. They know that something's missing, that something's very wrong. Hurt in the morning, and ache all day long. I took the tablets, even tried to write a song, but my guts are fucked now you're gone. I'm glad you're free of suffering now, and life flows on anyhow. Precious memories I'll keep inside.
