Fever




Welcome to sunny weather
Welcome to the natural high
Pollen allergies of horror
Sneezing, itchy, blotchy eyes
and also fever

In the hedgerows, fever from the tallest trees
Fever! In the people suffering from allergies 

Welcome to the summer
Give the pollen counts a spin
Welcome to the snots and sneezing
Take the Antihistamines 
for your fever

Grab the tissues, block your nose with vaseline 
Fever! Tape door frames, so the pollen doesn't get in

Wrap your head in clingfilm 
Wear a snorkel, tank and mask
Going out in any weather 
Is suddenly a massive task
with hay fever

Blooming flowers, sending up the spores of doom
Fever! Wait till winter, it will be over soon.
