This is more of a light hearted question..... My personal favourite would probably be the line "pushing an elephant up the stairs" in the song "the great beyond" by REM .. Every day the tiredness feels like I have pushed several elephants up a tower block of flats!! :) x

Hi,

Got the perfect song by Toyah Wilcox..

"It's a misery..,

Oh it's a misery..,

I'm still searching.. for a cure..,

It's a misery... to.. me.."

I think that's how it goes ;)

Just heard "The Girl Can't Help It" by Little Richard on the radio, and thought of this thread.

(Yes, I expect most of you are MUCH too young to have ever heard of him - ask your mother/grandmother!)

Hi

I like it pip. I thought when I got so, so tried I would just close my eyes and I would be gone but it does not work like that, three days and counting six hours sleep under my belt.

Yep, it was the chronic fatigue that finally stopped me from being able to work. Well that and the fibro fog.. argh! Hate it! Hope you get a few more hours soon. Pip xx

You know I am barmy but I always think of "Mud Mud curing the blood" the wallowing song it makes me smile however hard things are! :D

To make me smile I adore the Toy symphony

There are so many it is easy to get carried away !

And "I'm a believer Yes I am" why cause one day there will be a cure!!

"Let me be weak, Let me sleep...." A lie from an old Kate Bush song called "And Dream of Sheep". Always loved her Hounds of Love album and have it on my ipod now. <3

"Break me, shake me" by Savage Garden has a few good lines in it too.
