A year ago I was diagnosed
With an illness right down to my toes
I felt okay, i wasnt too bad
We thought it was the flu I had
But once the Doc had listened to me
He sent me off for some tests you see
The results came back - they weren't that great
They definitely weren't worth the wait
And so began the hospital trips
Of medication taken in through drips
And bottles of pills to take with me
And Chemo too why not, it's free?
So retirement didn't quite start with fun
But instead sadness, anger and desperation
I've been through all��� this before you see
So it wasn't quite a novelty
I'm fighting back like I did before
And hoping I'll get through it once more
But the truth be known I'm tired of the fight
I would like to stop and call it a night
But that's not what I'll do you see
Because it would break the hearts of my family
I've got a lovely husband and two great sons
Through thick and thin we've had some fun
So my hair fell out but I was bald with styleÃ��Ã�ÂÂ
And carried on with my usual smile
Here I am earning ���£5 a week
With my pension payments, boy what a treat!
So if there is a God��� watching me die
I hope you're enjoying my family cry
Bring it on God cause I couldnt give a shit
And when I get upstairs you're gonna pay for it....
