Lyrics for The Ballad of Me and My Brain

And well, I think I've gone mad Isn't that so sad? And what a shame you've lost a brain that you never had Oh mum check the car it can't have gone far I must have left it on a train or lost in a bar It's likely in a Sainsbury's Flirting with the girls and waiting for me I jumped on a bus, declared my name And asked if anybody's seen my brain Your brain was last seen going for a run And would you sign an autograph for my daughter Laura? 'Cause she adores you I think you're shit I've gotta look for my brain for a bit! I stepped outside, it hurt my eyes Well what do you expect when you've got no mind! I searched all day it drove me insane Where would I be if I was my brain? The nice nurse told me said she felt my pain But couldn't find a single trace of my brain Oops I did it again started playing Forget my brain, remember my name
