Hay Fever

[Verse 1: Ray Davies] Sitting by my stereo all alone My baby calls me on the telephone She says, Baby take me out for a dance I tell my baby I feel so bad I can't go out and it's making me sad But when you see me, I know you will understand [Verse 2: Ray Davies] I got hay fever, blocking up my head Hay fever, I ought to be in bed How can I dance when I can't hardly breathe Wish I could cure this infernal allergy I got, hay fever blocking up brain Hay fever, feel the sinus pains And all the pills and the powders are in vain Thought I was cured but here it comes again It goes ooh-ah [Verse 3: Ray Davies] The pollen count's getting higher and higher My eyes are sore and m noes is on fire My throat's dry now and I'm starting to perspire My stuffed up head's killing all of my desire I got hay fever, you wicked allergy Hay fever, you put the curse on me And I've inhaled every known remedy [Verse 4: Ray Davies] I can't say cool 'cos I'm starting to sneeze I can't make love when I can't hardly breathe We start to dance and my nose starts to bleed There must be a cure for this hay fever Is there a pill or a powder I can take I must get a cure, for my romace is at stake [Verse 5: Ray Davies] Hay fever, you tore my image down Hay fever, I must look like a clown I must have used every tissue in town I'm running round sniffin' like a hound It goes ooh-ah [Verse 6: Ray Davies] I wanna kiss but I'm sneezin' instead I can't make love when my head feels like lead How can I pose when my nose is all red We should be home, should be tucked up in bed But I got hay fever Hay fever Hay fever (x3)
