Lyrics The 1975 – 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

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 had 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 ya,
But 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 she felt my pain
But she couldn’t find a single trace of my brain
«Oops, I Did It Again» started playing
Forget my brain,
Remember my pain
