February
(The Brigadier)
Words and music by Matt Williams
Damn this season, it’s the reason that I’m feeling so incredibly down,
It’s so tragic how lethargic and pathetic it’s all seeming now,
In this world of the dark, it feels like a disgrace when the only sun you’ll see is from the window of your workplace…
February is the shortest month,
But the nights are the longest of them all,
February is the shortest month,
But those nights I really do deplore…
Ain’t just the old who feel the cold bearing down on their fragile souls,
And lack of light don’t help the plight of feeling like you’re in a deep dark hole,
‘Cos when the frost is inside, there’s nowhere to hide and there’s nothing you can do to ward off the winter blues…
February is the shortest month,
But the nights are the longest of them all,
February is the shortest month,
But those nights I really do deplore…
When they say that it gets worse before it’s better, it means nothing to me,
‘Cos in the middle it is difficult to understand why it must be,
And the promise of a Spring doesn’t count for anything when you’re way down low,
Wish I could sleep through it all just like the animals but sadly no…
February is the shortest month,
But the nights are the longest of them all,
February is the shortest month,
But those nights I really do deplore…
